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 Aaron Neuwirth We Live Entertainment In addition to some of the more praiseworthy elements, such as its high-energy cast and queer-friendly atmosphere, I was fond of how much it felt like director Tina Romero was picking up where her father, zombie godfather George A. Romero, left off. Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Christian Toto HollywoodInToto.com Tina Romero pays silly homage to daddy George's zombie work with on-the-nose social commentary. Rated: 3/4 Oct 4, 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 Read all reviews
