Siddhant Adlakha Variety Few films can coast on good intentions alone, but low-budget zombie romp “Queens of the Dead” comes close. Jul 8, 2025 Full Review Deirdre Crimmins Rue Morgue Magazine It is legitimately exciting that there is another Romero picking up the torch of horror film. Tina has wowed with Queens of the Dead, and we look forward to her career lurching forward from here. Aug 22, 2025 Full Review Jake Tropila In Review Online The [film's] seeming disinterest in using the genre as an outlet for further commentary is odd... [but] there’s at least one good joke landing every few minutes, which is a remarkably high batting average for a debut. Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Rebecca Sayce FILMHOUNDS Magazine The term cult classic is thrown around way too often, but Queens Of The Dead has all the makings of an instant indie hit. Rated: 4/5 Jul 23, 2025 Full Review John Daniel Tangalin The Cinema Spot The horror comedy film is authentically dramatic to the benefit of its genre and genuinely funny due to people’s clever quips, surprising ironies, and silly actions. Rated: 4.5/5 Jul 19, 2025 Full Review Joey Moser The Contending Romero's film is sharp, bloody, and sassy entertainment. Jul 8, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
