SUFF Queens of the Dead

*** OPENING NIGHT FILM *** The night kicks off at 6:15pm with DJ Jay Katz playing some killer tunes and a drink on arrival (cheers to Wayward Brewery & Indigo Vineyard!). From 6:30pm it’s time to mingle, snack, and soak up a sizzling drag show with the fabulous Mya Soul. At 7pm the cinema doors swing open, leading into a warm welcome at 7:15pm before the Australian Premiere of QUEENS OF THE DEAD! And when the credits roll? The undead celebrations continue! From breakout director Tina Romero (daughter of zombie cinema royalty George A.Romero) comes QUEENS OF THE DEAD, a riotous, blood-splattered horror-comedy thatslays with equal parts camp, carnage, and community. When a Brooklyn warehouse drag party spirals into chaos with canceled acts and flaring egos, the night takes a darker turn: a zombie outbreak crashes the party. As the undead close in, a hot-headed promoter (Katy O’Brian, Love Lies Bleeding) and an eclectic group of drag queens, club kids, and frenemies must swap shade for solidarity to survive. With stilettos flying and zombies biting, it’ll take every ounce of glitter, guts, and glam to fight off a dance floor full of scrolling flesh-eaters and make it to sunrise. With a scene-stealing ensemble including Jaquel Spivey, Nina West, Tomás Matos, Margaret Cho, Jack Haven, Cheyenne Jackson, and Riki Lindhome, and a cameo from none other than Tom Savini (legendary horror makeup artist.) Don't miss this outrageously fun glitter-soaked gorefest to kick off the 19th Annual Sydney Underground Film Festival!ComedyPT1H39MUnrated 15+2025-09-11
