Queens of the Dead

“This is not a George Romero movie,” one character says partway through “Queens of the Dead,” co-writer/director Tina Romero’s fun, queer-themed zombie comedy. That line carries extra weight because of who it comes from, though I can’t explain further without spoiling a decent surprise. Instead, I’ll note that most of the winning strategies used by Tina Romero, daughter of George, are almost as blunt and effective as the ones used by her dad. For starters, she’s cast a group of queer performers, which makes a fair difference in a genre movie about a zombie apocalypse that pre-empts a Bushwick drag show.
