We all remember the slew of boy bands back in the ’90s who attacked us with curtain cuts and pouty lips – well, now it seems they’re the ones being attacked andthey’ve banded together to overcome certain undead horrors.

New post-apocalyptic zombie thriller Dead 7 is the brainchild of Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter, featuring members of *Nsync, 98 Degrees, O-Town and of course, Backstreet Boys.

Supposedly, after a deadly virus decimates humanity, a group of survivors settled on a simple Western lifestyle have their existence threatend by a horde of terrifying zombies. To over come the evil villainess Apocalypta and her henchman Johnny Vermillion (Backstreet Boys’ A.J. McLean), Jack (Carter) teams up with a motley crew of pop has-beens to say “bye bye bye” to the evil undead that pollute their town.

The film also features an all-new song ‘In The End’from members of these undead boy bands, along with new music from a cast of pop familiars. Check out the trailer here:

The zombies aren’t dead and neither are the ’90s. Backstreet’s back, alright?
