Production

Nick Carter had been aspiring to make a movie for years. In the past he's made several independent short films and in 2014 he started an Indiegogo campaign to fund his first feature-length movie titled Evil Blessings. Later that year however the director, Sxv'leithan Essex, died. This led Carter into scrapping the movie and replaced it with another movie, Dead 7, initially titled Dead West. In 2015, he landed the support of The Asylum, the production company behind Sharknado and many other SyFy productions, to produce the movie.

Filming began on August 20, 2015, in Anaconda, Montana at the 1880s ranch in the Valley just outside of town. They spend a week and a half filming at the ranch, and finally they went to Butte, Montana.[3] Locations in Butte to film includes The Dumas Brothel & The World Mining Museum. The final location was the Lady of The Rockies looking over the city. That was the reason why producer Dylan Fox choose Montana, because one of his production assistants show him a photo of The Lady of The Rockies while they were searching the state for filming locations and he agreed. They even had to rewrite the ending of the script, just to add the Lady of The Rockies to it. About 250 locals from in & around the Anaconda & Butte areas were used as zombie extras. Although 500 Montanans showed up for audition, including about half from Bozeman, Missoula & Helena. Production wrapped on September 8, 2015.
