4K UHD Review – Killer Condom

K17

"Killer Condom" was born in comics created by German artist Ralf Konig, with such insanity free to be explored on the page, without creative limitations. Co-writer/director Martin Walz looks to take a shot at the material in a 1996 cinematic adaptation, trying to sell the absurd horror of a monstrous prophylactic on the loose in New York City without leaning too hard into frenzied camp. It's a tonal tightrope walk few filmmakers would attempt, giving Walz points for bravery, and "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, with Walz refusing to create a more direct hit of peculiarity and character, making the offering more plodding than giddily outrageous.
