Powerful

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

German movie in German language, but with plot located in New York and main characters being Sicilian gay inspector named Macaroni and Russian crazy scientist named Smirnoff. By itself this is enough for hilarious movie. It has elements of Film Noir and with scenes and music it parodies The Godfather, Psycho and many more legendary movies.Plot is based on the living condoms that bite off peoples genitals in hotel Quicky and inspector who is trying to solve the case. As much as it sounds retarded and ridiculous, this movie really isn't bad. Two hours flew like nothing and I think I will watch it again, cause I probably missed some more concealed references.Objectively, movie doesn't have some special qualities, but for originality and entertainment I would give it 10/10.

"Kondom des Grauens" or "Killer Condom" from 20 years ago is a German movie directed and written by Martin Walz together with Ralf König who is the author of the comic that this film is based on. It runs for 105 minutes basically, which I personally found way too long given that the film had nothing to offer. There are moments of horror, moments of drama, moments of mystery and science-fiction, but it does not deliver enough (in terms of quality and quantity) in any of these areas that I would say it is a fitting genre description. The only thing I can see it as is a comedy movie. The title character comes to life and does the unspeakable act when put where it usually belongs. No need to further elaborate on that. As a direct consequence, a police officer tries to find out what is actually going on and runs into all kinds of bizarre people and situations on the way to finding the truth, even something involving God at the very end. Oh well.. that has to happen when it is all about a carnivorous condom. How much you will like or dislike this movie has to do with and all comes down to how funny you will find the humor in here. I personally did not find it funny at all. And that is also why nothing stays apart from strange sexual (frequently disturbing and disgusting) references that make up this film. And the desperate attempt of being funny while not succeeding at all. Nothing worse than that. It says a lot that the cast includes mostly actors who usually score through charisma and not through range, such as the incredibly overrated Iris Berben. Sucks to see Leonard Lansink in here though. He is much much better than the level of this movie. As a whole, I give it a major thumbs down and ask... no beg you to watch something else other than this complete mess we have here. Watched it the second time today, many years after the first and it was just as bad. The only somewhat good thing was "Killing Me Softly", but of course no credit can go to the filmmakers for this song.

Spoilers herein.When I enter one of these worlds, I expect risk. Not by itself of course, but paired with clever insight, unusual metaphor or sliding perspective. But above all, risk. Their risk is my risk. Quite literally, I enter these film relationships promiscuously without protection, bare, expecting permanent change.That's why I have higher expectations for something like this. But alas, this is not a risky project. In fact, it wraps itself in 80's satire and mundane fimmaking. It is too safe. It is as if its own condom kills it.Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.

Definitly one of Troma's strangest and with a message. Killer Condom is definitly not for the homophobic or conservative as it is a pro homosexual movie that deals with society's issue's with homosexuality and morality and is an attack on the gay bashing conservative religious right community. The Killer Condoms of the title was created by the government( i think i can't remember) to murder homosexuals and sexual deviants proving a roller coaster ride of cheesy low bro humor and gags. Definitly for the open minded people out there to check out8/10
