Tina Romero’s Queens of the Dead captures her father’s political spirit

For a queer horror comedy following a group of club kids and misfits as they tackle the zombie apocalypse, Queens of the Dead has a surprisingly powerful political message. But maybe that shouldnโ€™t be surprising, with Tina Romero at the wheel. The daughter of George A. Romero, the father of the zombie genre, was consciously working to carry on his legacy of politically charged metaphors, while putting her own stamp on the genre.
