"With the party underway a staggering figure appears that at first doesn't pose a threat. "Drag is not life or death," Nina West's character assures just as the threat is revealed - drag zombies, the most glamorous undead. Quickly things get out of hand and before long a full on outbreak is confirmed. "Manhattan is under siege," a reporter announces as the club locks down. The characters "armour up," which includes small tools and glue guns."
"The drama amps up before the trailer ends with Pose 's Jackson taking the eye out of a zombie using a corkscrew attached to her heels. "Survive survive," she says merrily before carrying out the impressive move. In a statement to Entertainment Weekly Nina West said, "Being part of this movie has been incredible, celebrating how "Nearly every single person on set was queer." She also said, the film "will take audiences on such a wild ride.""
