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.

Globe and Mail Rated: 1.5/4 Mar 19, 2002 Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle Rated: 3/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Trace Thurman Horror Queers Podcast Who would have thought a campy German export about carnivorous contraceptives would have such a big, queer, beating heart? Rated: 4/5 Jan 15, 2024 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com "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. Rated: B- Sep 18, 2023 Full Review Joe Lipsett Horror Queers Podcast 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 Rated: 4/5 Feb 22, 2020 Full Review John A. Nesbit Old School Reviews too bad it takes itself so seriously Rated: D Oct 24, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member 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 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Top notch gunplay, killed me, like literally actually Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member All I can do is laugh honestly, I just have no words :P Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member absolutely brilliant. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Say what you will... this is honestly better than it has any right to be. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
