A drag show in Brooklyn turns into a fight for survival once the undead start showing up in "Queens Of The," a horror-comedy that pairs glitter with gore.
What is Queens Of The about?
The premise is simple and the execution leans fully into it: a night of drag performances in Brooklyn is interrupted by a sudden outbreak, and the queens and club kids on hand have to stop competing with each other long enough to fight off a crowd of the brain-hungry undead. Rivalries and old grudges among the performers do not disappear just because the building is under siege; the film uses that tension for comedy as much as for stakes, letting personality clashes play out even as the group has to cooperate to survive. Each performer brings a different skill set to the fight, and the film gets its energy from watching a found family of misfits improvise their way through a crisis nobody trained for, using whatever is at hand — costume pieces, stage props, sheer nerve — against a threat that does not care about any of it.
About the cast
Jaquel Spivey leads the cast, with Katy O'Brian and Quincy Dunn-Baker among the performers thrown into the fight. The ensemble plays the shift between camp and horror without losing either register.
Context & significance
Directed by Tina Romero, the film arrives in 2025 as part of a horror-comedy lineage that mines a specific setting for both scares and jokes, here using the world of drag performance as its stage. The genre mashup keeps the tone light even as the zombie threat stays genuinely dangerous, a balance the film maintains throughout its runtime.
