OK guys....I really wanted to like this, cause I like zombie movies and boy bands were my jam (and still occasionally are-especially backstreet boys and even spoke to AJ on the phone once (thanks to my sister and her ex husband-her ex went to school with AJ). I got most of the way through before turning it off. I have never written a movie review on IMDb before. I get the comedy aspect, for it to not be taken seriously, some of the acting was decent, but some other times....I felt like a bad porno from the 70s-80s was about to break out. There was no story line really, it was a mishmosh of different story lines and one of the scenes with AJ, why did he have to act like bad imitation Captain Jack Sparrow? That kinda ruined it for me in the beginning. And the lighting is all off balance and too washed out a lot. I'll probably watch it again and give it another shot when I don't have anything else to watch.Btw, I used to love the SyFy channel, that channel used to be awesome and started going downhill, so I hoped this movie would be somewhat decent and bring the channel back to a little bit of it's former glory.But seriously guys, please stick with singing, if you guys are going to act again, please don't act like one of those awful movies on the Max Movie Channels after 11-12. I can't take it and makes me either want to laugh or vomit. I know Joey is good-I love him Greek Wedding 1 and 2. Howie and Nick were semi decent.I would never want to put anyone down and if you want to continue making movies, we'll be there for you to help cheer you on for your dreams.

The title of this movie matches perfectly. Everything from the dialogue, script, plot, acting, and even the tone of the film is dead. From the very start, the tone and vibe of this movie feels off. What should feel like a Western movie, somehow comes off as a mixture of the modern and past, but failing as if it doesn't know which one it's trying to be. In the end, it's really neither, and just a movie with low budget sets that don't fit the feel of the movie whatsoever. Not only do the sets feel out of place, the entire feel of the movie does too. It's set in a post-apocalyptic world, and yet they still have vehicles and a few other modern devices. Why is this set up like a Western then? It's all over the place.Aside from the tone and feel of the movie being off, the writing is atrocious. Nick Carter should stick to writing songs, because the only thing about this movie that was good was the song they all sang together for the credits. The plot is so weak, that you're not even sure what it is. There is a villain, but there is so little back story on every character in this film, that it's nonexistent. It seems like some cheap story a five year old tried to write up for a class assignment, and even a five year old could probably write better.Beyond that, the acting is darn right awful. Aside from small notes like AJ McLean, whose Johnny Vermillion character probably brought the most to the table, the other actors are just horrible. Even then, the only amusement he offers is his funny laugh throughout that sounds like Batman's Joker has asthma. Otherwise, everyone in this movie is horrific. Facial expressions are absent, while dialogue is off and completely weak. Nothing in this movie fits the way it should.Everything felt forced and some of the plots seemed to be Nick Carter's idea of wish fulfillment. Maybe he would have fulfilled his deepest desires if he could actually play a decent lead, but instead his one-liners are something left to be desired, and you WANT him to die in this movie, just like every other character. Of course, that's within the first five minutes of the film, and sadly not everyone is introduced within the first five minutes, but you want them dead anyways. They're THAT bad once they come onto the screen. All in all, this movie isn't even a decent B movie. It's just idiotic and a waste of time. Seriously, these boy band members should have just teamed up for the song, or went on tour together and made a band called Dead 7, because their only talent is singing.

If you think that a bunch of 1990's boy-band singers getting together to make a zombie/western movie in 2016 was a bad idea, you'd be right. It looks and sounds exactly like what you'd imagine; just awful.Looking at the disparity in the votes between male and female on this one makes me think a large number of women, who were about 14 in 1995, checked in to scope out their old crushes, and they still have a thing for them (it would explain all the "10" votes for this). Nothing wrong with old infatuations, but I think their fond memories of these guys had them overlooking some very big flaws in Dead 7.A good screenplay is the basis for any good film, and good actors are needed to get those words effectively on screen. This movie has neither of those things. In fact, this is just tough to watch all the way through. There is nothing here to draw your interest. No sympathetic characters, no witty banter, not even any fancy CGI. I'm not a big fan of desaturated color in films either, and Dead 7 really overdoes it. If you want to take that much color out of a film, just make a black and white movie.The point is, unless you were a huge fan of the Backstreet Boys, 'NSync, O-Town or 98 Degrees, you're just wasting your time watching this.

I had to watch because I just love some 90s boy bands but this movie was just bad? Was there a real plot to this no...the acting was hilariously bad, accents went in and out mid sentence and where was Aaron carter?? Come on nick you should have casted your brother to get all the feels. The zombie makeup was really really terrible as well. And the extra girls that you casted... Who wears pearls and has time to straighten there hair in a post apocalyptic world? But I totally appreciated all the 90s sunglasses but I'm pretty sure they used an Instagram filter for the whole movie! I will love you guys for life but this was just so bad we had to watch show me what you got after just to get back our backstreet boys love!!! Sorry guys stick to what your good at singing and dancing.
