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 to produce the movie.
Filming began in August 2015, in Anaconda, Montana and Butte, Montana.[4] and wrapped in early September 2015.
