Back in 1968,\u00a0George A. Romero<\/a>\u00a0made his feature directorial debut with one of the greatest horror movies ever made,\u00a0Night of the Living Dead<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 and while doing so, he also introduced the world to flesh-eating ghouls that became a new definition for the world \u201czombie.\u201d Romero, who passed away in 2017, went on to make several more zombie movies over the decades\u2026 and recently, his daughter Tina Romero made her own feature directorial debut with a zombie movie called\u00a0Queens of the Dead.\u00a0The movie reached theatres in October (you can read our review HERE<\/a>), and now it has been given a digital release. You can rent or buy it on Amazon at THIS LINK<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Romero previously told\u00a0Fangoria<\/a>\u00a0that the screenplay she wrote with novelist and comedian Erin Judge \u201ctakes place over one night, at the beginning of the dead rising. We find ourselves at a big warehouse party in Bushwick. We\u2019ve got a party promoter for whom everything\u2019s going wrong, and her lead act has dropped out, so she needs to call upon a friend \u2014 a retired drag queen \u2014 to resurrect his drag, to come and save the night. And it turns out to be a night of many resurrections. And our motley crew of characters find themselves holed up in a Bushwick nightclub, having to decide \u2018do we get out of here or do we board the place up?\u2019 And they\u2019ve got to survive the night. It\u2019s about a group of non-fighters finding the survival skills deep within.\u201c<\/p>\n

Katy O\u2019Brian (Love Lies Bleeding),\u00a0Jack Haven (I Saw the TV Glow), Margaret Cho\u00a0(Fire Island), Cheyenne Jackson\u00a0(American Horror Story), Nina West (Rupaul\u2019s Drag Race), Jaquel Spivey (Mean Girls), Tomas Matos (Fire Island), Quincy Dunn-Baker (No Hard Feelings), Becca Blackwell (Bros), Shaunette Ren\u00e9e Wilson (Black Panther), Dominique Jackson (Pose), Riki Lindhome (Knives Out), Eve Lindley (Bros), and drag artist Julie J star in the film. Romero previously provided the following statement: \u201cThis is the cast of my wildest dreams. In a movie about survival, you gotta love and root for the survival crew. Every single person in this ensemble brings such a special and specific flavor -both on and off screen. The result is truly a magic sauce.\u201c\u00a0George A. Romero\u2019s frequent collaborator Tom Savini and Gaylen Ross of\u00a0Dawn of the Dead<\/a>\u00a0also make appearances.<\/p>\n

Vanishing Angle\u2019s Matthew Lee Miller and Natalie Metzger produced the film.<\/p>\n
