A lecherous college professor takes a student to a sleazy New York motel, and becomes the first victim of a sharp-toothed, murderous condom. Assigned to the case, Luigi Mackeroni (Udo Samel), a gay cop, visits the motel, picks up young hustler Billy (Marc Richter) and takes him to a room, where they barely escape intact from an attack by another vicious prophylactic. Mackeroni must then overcome the understandable doubts of his superiors to launch a full investigation into the deadly condoms.

Who would have thought a campy German export about carnivorous contraceptives would have such a big, queer, beating heart? Go to Full Review

"Killer Condom" isn't a slapdash endeavor, highlighting some attention to detail and a love for weirdness. At two hours in length, the feature is demanding a lot of patience from viewers. Go to Full Review

The humour is surprisingly witty and just on the right side of crude...The critique of the police and the politics of prioritizing high profile cases while simultaneously diminishing or disregarding the lives of at-risk peoples...is...still very timely Go to Full Review

08/26/2020 I was forced to watch this movie for our Podcast (Link Below). I should've known when I couldn't find a digital copy of this movie anywhere for purchase or rent that it was going to be a disaster. I was able to find a copy of You Tube and the entire movie is in German despite being set in New York City. The subtitles are white and blend into the screen picture. The quality was bad, but the content was worse. I would not suggest this movie to anyone. https://linktr.ee/horrormoviecrewpodcast See more 01/12/2019 Top notch gunplay, killed me, like literally actually See more 07/13/2014 A NYC detective (initially on the downlow) tracks this terrible device. A German film, the most comical parts were the representations of over-exaggerated American culture. Think Attack of the Killer Tomatoes meets Cruising (1980) meets Pink Flamingos. Much more drama than the title would let-on. See more 09/29/2013 All I can do is laugh honestly, I just have no words :P See more 09/10/2013 absolutely brilliant.
