Artists and cultural workers know it: you plan the big show for months and then a zombie epidemic breaks out and destroys everything. That's exactly how the drag queens and club staff feel in Brooklyn: Instead of a glamorous performance, there is glamorous carnage. In order to survive, personal differences must be overcome and high heels must become murder weapons.
What can go wrong when George A. Romero's daughter writes and directs a zombie movie? Nothing at all, of course. In QUEENS OF THE DEAD, Tina Romero provides us with drag queens and queer e-scooter gangs, creative murder weapons from the locker room, a guest appearance by Mr. Savini himself and exactly the huge injection of genre love that can revive pulseless zombie hearts.
