You won't be disappointed!
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
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.
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
I can appreciate the complexities that go into making movies, it's not an easy thing to do however, there are so many things wrong with this movie, how do I count the ways. The acting, horrible. The writing, atrocious. The plot, ever-changing, but never for the better. Still, it had its good points. I particularly enjoyed the part where it ended. Not so much the scripted ending, just that the movie actually ends. I watched it hoping that it would get good at some point, even blending in the usual "norms" of movies of this genre. That never happened. It was bad from the start, it was worse during the run and while watching it one prayed for the ending or their own demise. The story is by Nick Carter, former boy band singer with a few other notables from other boy bands, I'm truly shocked that the editor while viewing the dailies didn't commit suicide. Then again, I don't know that they hadn't. Many other things that made no sense was the fact that the town was either dirt with dilapidated shacks or modern city with paved streets to include a modern bar with electric lighting, drinks and all the amenities including a pool table. Also of note, it took the heroes two days to get to the mountaintop with a horse, motorcycle, and jeep at the end it took them minutes to get back with a mixture of horseback and on foot, a journey which would have taken the slow-moving zombies a week to make. They put the bad guy, also known as Johnny Vermillion, in jail without searching him as well as no one guarding the prisoner at the jail as to hear a guy with a sledgehammer beating on the wall outside of the jail. Come to think of it, why didn't the bad guy just go through the front door as nobody seemed to be on guard duty? Also, think very highly of actress Debra Wilson. Although I've only seen her in comedies like Mad TV this role was not good. It looked as if she lost a bet and the acting was so over the top unfortunately it came across as ludicrous. The plot of Wilson's character as the leader of the zombie horde was to wipe out the town of Harpers Junction. Question, why? It's a hole in the ground. Nothing more. It looks as if time had already destroyed it. In the lair of the Zombie Queen the heroes seemingly had manage to get separated from one another making it easy for their characters to get picked off. Two of the primary characters carried swords and what looks like cycles. Seriously, these are slow moving zombies. Really, how hard could it be to wipe out the majority of these slow-moving creatures on their by decapitating them. But the epitome of stupidity is as they're within a stone's throw of the bad guys hideout when they're sneaking up to there buildings, they're shouting to one another. Seriously?! Seriously?? This is the time when one should talk in whispers or just simply just shut the hell up. Additionally, when the situation exists of a known zombie horde on the loose why is a town full of people completely unarmed. Seems a little strange when there's a zombie apocalypse and absolutely no one in an entire town has any way to defend themselves. This movie was beyond bad but, on the good side the movie ended. Movies like this reminds you just how nice it would have been to be lucky enough to choke on your own popcorn so at least some of the audience will experience a happy ending. Seriously, this was really bad. Really really really bad! So bad, so so very bad.
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.
