I don’t think that I’ve hidden the fact that I am dying to see Mimesis. It’s a fun take on horror. It’s a great take on zombie films. Hell it looks like an amazing take on THE zombie film. It has a great cast, looks to be filmed amazingly well and dammit I just want to see it yesterday!
Why watch a horror film when you can live one?
For over a century, fans have had their blood curdled and spins chilled by
the vicarious thrills of horror films. Whether populated by ghouls,
slashers, zombies or vampires, fans flocked to have their pulse quickened
and exercise their scream-generating skills. But one thing remained
constant: eventually the story ended, because it was only a movie. What if
it didn’t have to end? What if the next level of horror was to experience a
horror film from the inside?*Mimesis, as defined by Merriam Webster Dictionary: “imitation, mimicry.â€
In the film, a group of horror fans find themselves unwilling participants
in a living nightmare that pays homage to a classic horror film. Seven
complete strangers whose only common link is a love for classic era horror
films are invited to attend an exclusive “horror fan†party at a remote
farm. But as the sun sets, these strangers soon find themselves within a
real life version of the 1968 George Romero cult horror classic Night of
the Living Dead!
