What happens

Hated: GG Allin and the Murder Junkies is a 1993 American documentary film produced and directed by Todd Phillips. The film is about the life of GG Allin, a punk rock musician who was infamous for extreme behavior (violence, obscenity, drug abuse) and his stage shows becoming confrontational events involving indecent exposure (stripping and performing naked was one of Allin's most common rituals), onstage defecation and coprophagia, physical assault (both on and by Allin), and obscene language. The filmmakers shot additional material on his death (from a heroin overdose during post-production) for inclusion in the film. The film is Phillips' directorial debut, who was a junior at New York University during production. As of 2017, the film has a 63% score on the Rotten Tomatoes website based on eight reviews.
