Being an old fan of Nick Carter, I decided to check out the zombie film, Dead 7. And well, let's put it this way, he needs to stick to singing. The acting was terrible! One thing I noticed about this movie is that there were different types of accents that the actors were trying to pull off. Yet they would seem to forget they were in character. One minute one of the male actors, if you can call him an actor, sounded like he was in the old west (where this movie is supposed to take place) and then the next he didn't have an accent at all. And I'm not talking about one actor in particular. There were a few laughs. Joey Fatone (*NSYNC) with his lover, the Rum bottle, and AJ McLain (Backstreet Boys) as a Joker type villain. The only thing good about Carter's performance was his looks. He didn't do well in his other films so making another was a huge mistake. Other stars of this failure include Jeff Timmons of 98 Degrees, Erik- Michael Estrada of O-Town and one of the 90's decade's most talented singers (at least in my opinion) Jon Secada. With TV host Carrie Keegan playing the female lead. The plot doesn't start off well, and it doesn't develop at all. It's easy to root for the "boring" zombies. I'll say it again, Nick Carter needs to stick to singing. Maybe he had a good idea when starting this script and it didn't turn out well. Or maybe he just wanted to help himself and his fellow former heartthrobs get some extra dough. I hate to be another viewer giving this film a bad review but let's face it, this one should have stayed back in the Old West where it came from. One should be used to bad Syfy channel movies by now! But this is one of the worst. I give Dead 7 1 out of 10 Washed Up Boybanders.

"Dead 7" pretty much goes as the vast majority of SyFy and The Asylum produced movies go; downhill.I was initially lured in by the concept of a zombie movie, and I must admit that anything just even remotely zombie has my interest. So I sat down to watch "Dead 7".Well, after having seen Debra Wilson in "Z Nation", where she put on a good performance, I must admit that I sort of had my hopes up for "Dead 7". But then again, I saw that "Dead 7" also had Nick Carter and Joey Fatone on the cast list. What is this? Return of the Living Dead Boyband? Right, well back on track... Debra Wilson, however, failed to impress me with her performance in "Dead 7", as it was just over the top and the character was laughable. And needless to go into detail about the performances of the former two boyband members - enough said!The story in "Dead 7" was pointless and turned out to be anything but entertaining. And I was tempted to get up to watch something else a couple of times throughout the course of this movie.And what was up with the fact that they used human teeth as a currency in this movie? It just didn't make any logical sense whatsoever.The effects were adequate. But for a zombie movie, don't get your hopes up, because it is not groundbreaking special effects, nor is it among the top of the line.I have watch "Dead 7", so I can check it off my zombie list. However, I can in all honesty say that I will not be making a second trip back to watching this movie, because it just offered nothing worthwhile.

It's not state of the art, or Oscar-winning material, but........ The movie is quite entertaining... it's everything that we should expect from the same studios that brought us Z-Nation. If you like mindless action, with lots of blood and gore, and you are just looking for something to entertain you for some time, you can't go wrong with Dead 7.OK, the acting is not good (but I've seen worst), the plot is weird, and it's a TV-movie, without top-notch FX... but still, if you're not expecting Zombieland, Dead Rising, Night of the Living Dead or Dawn of the Dead, you will have a very nice time.Try it out.

disclaimer: gave up about 15 minutes inWhat I watched of this movie was just bad movie-making. Maybe it's supposed to be a caricature of spaghetti westerns and/or zombie movies. The director apparently never heard of "show, don't tell" as a storytelling technique. The opening sequence is just awful - over acted, over-explained, over-graded.The next 2 sequences look like they were shot on a handycam and not graded at all ... there's no cinematic feel to any of the shotsI gave up at that point. Maybe if I'd waited a few more minuted I'd have found someone in the story to become invested in... but I wasn't prepared to waste anymore time on it...Your Mileage May Vary
