Queens of the Dead

United States – 2025

CLOSING FILM

It’s Easter in Brooklyn, and a very different kind of resurrection lies in wait.

Dre (Katy O’Brian, “Love Lies Bleeding”) is putting on a drag show, but problems pile up, including star Yasmine’s cancellation the very same day. One she could’ve never imagined is an actual zombie apocalypse, which besieges her and her crew as nurse-wife Lizzy (Riki Lindhome, “Another Period”) tries to escape the flesh-eating, influencer/undead and get to safety with Dre. As the trapped gang deals with various interpersonal issues—including the sudden comeback of Samoncé (Jaquel Spivey, “Mean Girls”)—they’re forced to resolve their differences to survive, all while battling hordes of phone-addicted zombies!


Director Tina Romero follows in her father George A.’s footsteps, albeit in a modernized direction. Here, the undead's main priority is not to eat brains, instead they are glued to their mobile phones, which immediately makes the story more true to life!
