Variety

Few films can coast on good intentions alone, but low-budget zombie romp “Queens of the Dead” comes close.

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.

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.

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

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

Romero's film is sharp, bloody, and sassy entertainment.
