Queens of the Dead is a 2025 American-British comedy-horror film directed by Tina Romero, set against the chaos of a Brooklyn warehouse rave suddenly overrun by the undead. The film centers on drag queens and club kids who discover that survival demands exactly the kind of bold creativity they have always lived by.

What is Queens Of The about?

The night of a massive warehouse party in Brooklyn turns catastrophic when a zombie outbreak begins spreading through the crowd. Amid the chaos, a wildly mismatched collection of drag performers, scene veterans, and feuding frenemies realize that escaping means working together. Each character brings a distinct set of skills, quirks, and unresolved personal baggage to the fight. Rather than running in panic, they improvise, strategize, and lean into everything that makes them extraordinary. The story tracks how people written off as outsiders can become the most resourceful survivors when the world collapses around them — and whether old rivalries can survive a night of flesh-hungry chaos.

Cast & crew

Director Tina Romero assembles a cast built for absurdist comedy with genuine horror instincts. Katy O'Brian leads with physical energy, while Jaquel Spivey brings sharp comic timing. Nina West and Margaret Cho bring veteran stage presence, and Cheyenne Jackson adds a layer of charismatic tension. Tómas Matos, Quincy Dunn-Baker, and Jack Haven round out an ensemble that keeps the film moving at genuine pace.
