Queens of the Dead only sometimes becomes the riotous midnight movie classic it promises to be, but the undead have never looked this fabulous.

Anyone who appreciates horror should find something to smile at here.

It’s all meant to be viewed through the lens of camp, that increasingly diluted and all-too-broad category that here feels more like an excuse for the film’s flat construction than an aesthetic approach.

Queens of the Dead boasts some great performances, and gives the stage to queer actors like Katy O’Brian and Jaquel Spivey. Though we believe they could’ve gone a bit further with it, it showcases some great kills and gore.
