DEAD 7 has the appearance of having been made by a bunch of friends (and possibly in their backyards!), but I found it to be fairly original and fun. I assume the director/writer was going for some "tongue-in-cheek," and if so, he succeeded. The female leads are sexy; the killings pretty original; and the story, though not completely original (what horror movie is, these days?), made me keep watching. Oh, yeah -- and the girl who plays this woods/witch (Delia Copold) is downright freaky! Overall -- pretty well-done on clearly a nothing budget. The filmmakers must have spent at least a little bit on SFX. And the cast, on the whole, is buy-able. Check out the cameo by the writer/director Clancy as a sheriff.
