One of 2014вЂ™s most talked about Arrow Video releases, NekromantikВ makes its Blu-ray debut in the UK as an exclusive 3-disc digipak featuring Blu-ray, DVD and CD Soundtrack. Some of this film may be seen as offensive and shouldnвЂ™t be shown to minors!!!ДЄrrow Video is thrilled to announce the first UK Blu-ray and DVD release of the sordid and notorious underground shocker Nekromantik,В arriving in time for Christmas on 15 thВ December 2014. The film has actually gone on location in New York for many of the street scenes, although the sight of would-be New Yorkers speaking German proves somewhat incongruous.3-DISC DIRECTOR APPROVED BLU-RAY & DVD DIGIPAK 15 thВ DECEMBER 2014 (The film is based on a comic-book by cult German gay comic-book creator Ralf KГ¶nig). The Killer Condom should also be commended for going out on a limb and having a gay hero вЂ“ indeed, most of the characters are gay and the film is predominantly set in gay subculture вЂ“ such that The Killer Condom played more in gay film festivals than horror festivals when it came out. The film contains some surprisingly good performances, notably from Udo Samel whose part as the detective hero hits a perfect stride between cliche worldweariness and understated comic nonchalance, and Leonard Lansink as the cop turned drag queen. The effects sequences with the mobile condoms вЂ“ from no less than NEKRomantik (1987) director Jorg Buttgereit вЂ“ are well done. There are a number of enormously funny gags throughout вЂ“ Peter LohmeyerвЂ™s experience with a yellow handkerchief in his pocket while undercover in a gay bar an absurdly amusing parody of Jaws (1975) with a condom floating through a bathtub on the back of a rubber duck the wonderful little Sermon on the Mount speech about universal understanding that Udo Samel gets to give at the ending (amid wondering where the light surrounding him is coming from). There are some hysterically funny sequences вЂ“ like the parody of the Psycho (1960) shower sequence that turns into a scene with hero Udo Samel standing with a gas pipe hanging between his legs attempting to get the condom to leap onto it at the same time as drag queen Leonard Lansink is having an attack of hysterics because he doesnвЂ™t love her.

Rather than being in moronically stupid bad taste and/or a cornball genre parody, it is a witty comedy. The enormous surprise about The Killer Condom is that it is a well made film. One went into The Killer Condom expecting a moronically stupid film akin to, well, most of the abovementioned Troma product вЂ“ one that makes a play on an outrageous title and concept and piles on grotesque bad taste humour. Indeed, it is usually from under their distribution arm rather than their in-house productions that the better Troma films emerge. In the past, Troma have picked other films up for distribution, including the likes of Surf Nazis Must Die (1987), Rabid Grannies (1988) and Chopper Chicks in Zombietown (1991), along with this German-made production. Most people tend to forget that Troma is also a releasing company as well as a production company. The Troma name is usually one associated with offensively bad taste films like The Toxic Avenger (1984), Class of Nuke вЂEm High (1986), Tromeo and Juliet (1996) and Terror Firmer (1999).
