We’re celebrating 30 years since the release of Killer Condom with a one-off late night screening of the unseen original director’s cut in a new 4K restoration!

In one of the seediest parts of Midtown Manhattan, the male patrons of the aptly-named Hotel Quickie keep getting their genitals bitten off by some mysterious unseen force. Assigned to the case by his superiors, the gay Sicilian-born cop Luigi Mackeroni is skeptical of the rumors that a carnivorous condom is on the loose…or at least until he himself is maimed by one of the man-eating prophylactics during an encounter with a young rent boy at the hotel. As the Big Apple is besieged by an entire army of ravenous rubbers, Mackeroni must find a way to put an end to the escalating emasculation epidemic!
