Prepare for a zombie apocalypse unlike any you’ve ever seen! Following in the legendary footsteps of her father, George A. Romero, director Tina Romero is ready to unleash a whole new brand of undead chaos with her horror-comedy, Queens of the Dead!
This riotous film, co-written by Romero and Erin Judge, is set to turn the genre on its head, proving that when the world ends, you’d better face it with style, glitter, and a fierce, unapologetic attitude.
The Scrolling Undead
The story kicks off on a fateful, theatrical night in Brooklyn. A massive warehouse party is in full swing, but the celebration quickly turns into pure pandemonium when a zombie apocalypse breaks out!
But these aren’t your grandpa’s zombies. This world isn’t ending with a bang, but with the groan of the brain-thirsty, “scrolling undead” who are just as glued to their phones as they are to a fresh kill.
The city’s—and possibly the world’s—only hope rests on the improbable shoulders of an eclectic group of drag queens, club kids, and frenemies. They have to set aside their dramatic flair, check their egos at the door, and use their unique skills to fight for survival. This movie proves that fierce fashion and quick wits are the ultimate weapons against the apocalypse!
An All-Star Cast of Slayers
The film boasts an absolutely stacked ensemble cast that brings this wild premise to life. Leading the charge is the incredibly talented Katy O’Brian (Love Lies Bleeding), joined by Jaquel Spivey (Mean Girls), Tomas Matos (Fire Island), and the iconic Nina West (RuPaul’s Drag Race).
The roster is packed with even more celebrated names, including the legendary comedian Margaret Cho, Dominique Jackson (Pose), Cheyenne Jackson (American Horror Story), Riki Lindhome, Eve Lindley, Becca Blackwell, Shaunette Renée Wilson, and Julie J!
Queens of the Dead promises to be a high-energy, unforgettable ride that critics are already loving for its heart, style, and biting social commentary.
Slay!
Get ready to laugh, scream, and cheer as this fierce crew proves that sometimes, the best way to survive the apocalypse is to slay. Stream it on Shudder starting December 19th!
