Everything you think while watching boy banders fight zombies in Dead 7

It’s the boy band zombie movie you never knew you wanted (and probably didn’t). And yet, it happened.

Syfy’s Dead 7 told the story of seven(ish) people who tried to save the world from some sort of zombie queen. It was a lot to take in, which is why we’ve rounded up everything we thought while watching. 

First, to get you acquainted, here’s a rundown of the cast: 

Nick Carter as Jack
Jeff Timmons as Billy
Joey Fatone as Whiskey Joe
Howie Dorough as The Vaquero
Erik-Michael Estrada as Komodo
Carrie Keagan as Daisy Jane
Lauren Kitt-Carter as Sirene
Chris Kirkpatrick as Major Shelby
A.J. McLean as Johnny Vermillion
Debra Wilson as Apocalypta

Once you wrap your head around that, here’s every thought we had while watching its premiere:

• Why is there no food or water? What exactly happened during this apocalypse?
• This movie is very red.
• THE VILLAIN’S NAME IS APOCALYPTA.
• Wow, zombie-fighting Jeff Timmons looks just like real-life Jeff Timmons on his day off.
• They did not name Carrie Keagan’s character Daisy Jane.
• Is Chris Kirkpatrick wearing a grill?
• A.J. was BORN for this.
• What’s up with Apocalypta’s voice? She could NOT join a boy band.
• So … becoming a zombie takes no time at all.
• This movie has chapters?!
• Has A.J. ever ridden a horse before? Is he doing an accent? Why isn’t he singing? 
• Yeah, A.J. has never ridden a horse before.
• Oh look, it’s Jacob Underwood driving a car while wearing overalls. What is the dress code in this film? 
• I’m sorry, but if the sheriff is sleeping when there are zombies out there, he deserves to die.
• Is Jeff Timmons wearing a leather arm band?
• Nope, not learning their character names.
• Why are the zombies called Copper Heads?
• Wait, A.J. is a bad guy? Well, if he’s Team Apocalypta, so am I.
• A bullet can blow off an entire head?
• Is A.J. secretly the Joker?
• Jeff just splattered those women with zombie blood and then left them wanting more. Typical man.
• Jeff loves Daisy? Sure. Whatever.
• A.J. literally can’t stop LOLing.
• Seriously, waiting for A.J. to turn around and do this:
• 
• Did Apocalypta just yell “mrrrr”?
• So that prison is definitely made of wood. Very secure.
• Everyone say hello to the real star of this film: Jon Secada’s sideburns!
• Which do you prefer: The Hateful Eight or the Dead 7?
• It’s Joey Fatone as Whiskey Joe! Did they name his character Joe because he literally only responds to his real name?
• Announcement: Glass bottles break when you hit somebody over the head with them.
• Howie’s a sniper! And Howie and Joey have been friends all along! BSB fans can finally stop hating *NSYNC fans! (Just kidding.)
• Oh no. Make Howie’s accent stop. Please.
• And Erik-Michael Estrada is … a Power Ranger?
• Why are teeth the currency in this world? This is my hell.
• I do not for one second believe that Carrie sleeps with that black eye shadow on.
• Guys, Jeff Timmons and Nick Carter have been related all these years!
• These chapters are very short.
• At this point, is Joey Fatone trying to out-laugh A.J.?
• Now we’re at a saloon, so what time period is this set in?
• Fun fact: Art from Everclear loves saloons! (And hates zombies.)
• Dan Miller is one sassy bartender.
• Carrie just said, “Do you really carry all that much hate.”
• Oh no, Jon Secada’s a zombie!
• Oh no, Jon Secada’s dead!
• Why has no one started singing yet?!
• You really don’t need to stab someone after you decapitate them.
• At this point, Howie is just saying random Spanish words.
• Also, Howie, you really don’t need a sniper rifle at this close range.
• Oh snap, Carrie definitely has history with both brothers.
• Is there no consistent way to kill zombies? They seem to be shooting and stabbing them all over.
• “Let’s grab his teeth.” 
• HELLO WIG. (I’m talking Sirene, a.k.a. Nick Carter’s wife.)
• Jack is wrestling a zombie but somehow didn’t lose his hat …
• I really did not need that close-up of a car running over a zombie’s head.
• SHIFTY SHELLSHOCK was just killed by Apocalypta. (Talk about crazy town!)
• Is Erik wearing shin guards?
• “We’re American. We speak America!” –Joey
• You’re telling me they couldn’t find their way to the lady of the mountain when there’s literally signs pointing you in the right direction?
• I cannot with Apocalypta’s voice.
• What do we think Nick Carter’s wife gave Nick to drink when she said it will make him strong? A protein shake?
• Oh, so they used to call miners Copper Heads. So are all zombies miners? I don’t get it.
• Apocalypta just licked blood off a zombie’s mouth. I’m done.
• Did Erik just SMELL Trixie’s bra? (And was she wearing a red bra under her white top this entire time?!!)
• “I smell it! It’s a brothel!” –Joey
• “To slay a dragon, you don’t cut off its claw.” UMMMM … 
• Wow, A.J. really hated 98 Degrees. Either that, or he hates Jeff Timmons’ patriotic baseball cap.
• Not to be the buzzkill, but what supplies are you going to find in a brothel?
• Why does everyone have a different mic/walkie/headset situation.
• NO! HOWIE IS A ZOMBIE! But why are his eyes black? And why does Joey playing “Amazing Grace” on the harmonica seem to calm him down? (This would’ve been the PERFECT opportunity for “Spanish Eyes.”)
• Apocalypta would totally rock a skull scarf.
• Well, A.J. just turned Daisy into a zombie and then Nick killed her. Backstreet’s back, alright!
• Apocalypta has a fierce corset happening.
• Every time A.J. laughs, I wait for “Larger than Life” to begin.
• How are you having trouble tracking the guy who literally won’t stop laughing/making noise?
• First A.J. attacked Jeff, and now he kills Chris Kirkpatrick. 
• But wait, Erik just decapitated A.J. Does that mean O-Town wins?!
• Clearly, Apocalypta though A.J. should’ve had more lead vocals than Nick.
• Whiskey Joe is running out of whiskey! So is he just Joe now?
• Zombie Joey Fatone just killed himself. Eh.
• Soon-to-be zombie Erik just killed himself. Eh.
• I’m sorry, Nick was just bitten by a toddler zombie! And then he killed himself. What message does this send? Kids are the worst?
• But really, why didn’t anyone sing?

He's a fan! Nick leaps out of his seat to cheer on the LA Clippers with Vanessa

Backstreet Boy Nick Carter was inspired by his bandmates when writing 'Dead 7'

NEW YORK, April 1 (UPI) -- Nick Carter says he always kept his fellow, former boy-band members in mind as he crafted characters for the new Syfy flick Dead 7.

Carter wrote and produced the mashup movie, and starred in it alongside many of his recording-artist friends, such as his fellow Backstreet Boys Howie Dorough andA.J. McLean; Chris Kirkpatrick and his NSYNC bandmate Joey Fatone; Jeff Timmons of 98 Degrees and Erik-Michael Estrada of O-Town.

"A.J.'s character, which is one of my favorite characters, when I had this idea, eight, nine years ago, writing it, I was on a tour bus next to these guys with my computer, writing it, looking at A.J. every, single day, thinking about: 'I really want him to be the villain. This is the kind of person I want him to be,'" Carter told UPI in a phone interview Tuesday. "So, yeah, he was tailored for that part and it was well-thought-out. Also, Joey... I always wanted Joey in the film and he was perfect for it because I watched him in the original My Big Fat Greek Wedding and watched him in The Cooler and I loved his personality. He's over-the-top. He's great. And, so, yeah, most of the people I tailored the parts after them and I thought about it because I wanted to play on people's strengths, as well. Because, look, I don't consider myself the greatest actor, but that was my problem going on auditions in Hollywood and, trying to fit into the acting world, just never worked for me. So I was like, 'Well, I'm going to try to do something and create it for myself and something I can learn and grow from.' And that's what I did with all the characters."

However, the popular musician and one-time Dancing with the Stars contestant admitted it was a long, bumpy road from when he first started penning the script to the ultimate unleashing of the finished Dead 7.

"I started eight years ago with a script called Dead West," he recalled. "I had the concept of zombies in a western setting, with a couple of boy-band cast members, maybe some sports stars and this idea. So, I had no idea what I was doing. Read a couple of books, screenwriting books, then started learning how to write on Final Draft and jotted down the screenplay idea and then it took eight years to get to this point after some crowdfunding and a movie that I was supposed to do -- called Evil Blessings -- and then I had to put that aside and change my mind to go back to Dead West because my director passed away for the Evil Blessings movie, so there were so many trials and tribulations and things that occurred that led to the decision of going with that screenplay and turning it into this movie Dead 7. So, it was a lot harder... and, so, it has been such a relief for it to finally come out, especially since it took so long."

Carter said he would love to act alongside his buddies again and wouldn't rule out writing another screenplay, but he insisted he is taking a wait-and-see approach to his plans until after audiences weigh in on the movie.

"I've done everything that I could. I put all my energy and effort into it, so if people enjoy it and like it, then, yes, I would love to do more," he emphasized. "Most people who make movies understand that they do it for the love it, for the creation, for the artistic side of it, regardless if it is a blockbuster movie or a B movie. It's all about how much fun it actually is to do."

Asked if he intentionally paid homage to the Mad Max film franchise and auteurQuentin Tarantino, Carter replied: "That's what I'm a fan of. I grew up watching the original Mad Max on repeat. The spaghetti westerns from Clint Eastwood. Those are in my blood. The zombie movies from Night of the Living Dead to Evil Dead, those are in my blood, what I grew up on. Quentin Tarantino is probably in my Top 3 favorite directors of all time. ....

"What you see is definitely a combination of all the twisted stuff that I've watched and experienced in my life," he laughed.

Co-starring Jon Secada, Carrie Keagan, Art Alexakis and Chloe Lattanzi, Dead 7debuts Friday night on Syfy.
