A huge party in a Brooklyn warehouse turns into a nightmare when a zombie apocalypse breaks out in the middle of the night. Amidst rivalries, budding friendships, and flamboyant eccentricities, a group of drag queens, club kids, and artists must put aside their quarrels and join forces to survive… and fend off the brain-thirsty undead.
For her very first feature film, Tina Romero pulls no punches. Queens of the Dead blends a flamboyant zombie universe with queer and drag culture, delivering a festive, solidarity-filled, and humorous tone. When horror becomes a way to proclaim resistance and celebrate all differences collectively…
« Si Tina Romero écrit une lettre à son père, elle trempe la plume dans la sueur, le glitter et quelques taches de sang. Mais surtout dans l’amour : celui d’une communauté qui transforme même la fin du monde en soirée drag irrésistible. »
