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.

If it's tearing up your heart to the point that you are inconsolable that most boybands of the last millennium are no more, fright not... Because here's a bunch of them, ready to kick some zombie ass black & blue. Nick Carter who came up with the idea and wrote the script also stars alongside fellow Backstreet Boys members Howie Dorough (as a funny Mexican) and AJ McLean (who does his best Sid Haig in House Of 1000 Corpses impression in his role, where Nick is going more for Clint Eastwood).He also get 2 Nsync members together again; Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick, as well as a couple of members from O-Town who I really know nothing at all about but they are Jacob Underwood, Trevor Penick and Erik-Michael Estrada as a Bushido master.As well as Jeff Timmons from 98 Degrees and latino pop singer Jon Secada plays a sheriff with a one of a kind (fake) side-burn that seems to be ready to be falling, falling off at any minute.It's a SyFy movie though so those kind of goofs are expected and sure the budget could have been bigger but again a low budget is to be expected of the company that specialises in 'so good it's bad' movies.Perhaps Nick Carter could have spent a little more time on the script making it less incomplete but everybody got to show us what they're made of so even though it doesn't leave a permanent stain on your heart it's an amusing zombie flick, and this I promise you.Anyways I need to quit playing games as I've given all I have to give in this review and running slow on song-references to randomly put in it so bye, bye, bye. I'm gone.

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.
