As George a Romero's Daughter, Tina Nods to Her Father's Legacy With a Sassy Repurposing of 'Night of the Living Dead's' Famous Line

Tina Romero's queer horror-comedy 'Queens of the Dead' brings laughs and gore to the LGBTQ+ warehouse party scene, anchored by a charismatic cast including Katy M O'Brian, Cheyenne Jackson, Nina West, and Jaquel Spivey. As George A Romero's daughter, Tina nods to her father's legacy with a sassy repurposing of 'Night of the Living Dead's' famous line. While the film shines in one-liners, set-pieces, and dance-offs, it lacks storytelling momentum and suffers from cheap visuals, though makeup and squishy gore effects impress.

Hardcore horror fans may feel short-changed, but Drag Race devotees with a taste for silly scares should enjoy it. 'Queens of the Dead' hits Shudder and AMC on 7 August. They’re coming to get you Barbara!
