Interesteg What makes it different from others?

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

iampoch01 While I agree with some of the points the detractors gave the movie, I don't agree completely. Some of the acting need brushing up (and one particular actress was exceptionally awful IMHO), but they're not so bad to the point that they're unwatchable. Some of the actors' portrayals are commendable. The low budget vibe actually pays greatly to being a homage of the original film. I actually originally wanted it to give a 6, but opted to give it a point more because I honestly believe that all fans of the original movie should give this one a shot.The effects are enough to make you cringe at the right moment. While the execution falls flat in some places, I feel that it's worked as a whole. I'm not a fan of slasher flicks per se, but this one works for me. So, overall, I liked the movie. I doubt that it'll be a classic like the movie it pays homage to, but hey, who knows? I didn't think Romero thought that his Night of the Living Dead would turn out so successfully either. And I'm sure that when it first came out, it was met with some negative feedback from some critics, too.

Paul Magne Haakonsen Well, to fully appreciate this movie for what it is, then you have to be an avid fan of the zombie genre, and especially of "Night of the Living Dead". I can say that I am both those things, but still I found this movie to be somewhat disappointing.Sure there were some great moments here and there, and it was especially great to revisit the house and feel like being back at the location of "Night of the Living Dead". On that account, the movie makers managed to accomplish something great.However, on the story part of the movie, then the movie makers didn't really fully deliver anything solid. The idea of re-inventing something from a movie into real life does seem interesting, yes I will admit to that, but ultimately this movie failed to leave a lasting impression. What turned out to be not so great was the way that it was executed and the way that these "zombies" looked. Not to mention the motive behind it all, it was just a little bit too campy.I was initially lured in to watching this as it allegedly was a zombie movie, plus it had Sid Haig on the billing list. Yeah, he was in the movie around perhaps five minutes or so, so don't get suckered in to this with these factors as I was. You'll just end up sorely disappointed.As for the acting, well people did good enough jobs with their given roles, it was just the script itself that didn't give the actors and actresses much to work with."Mimesis" is not really a good movie if you are looking for some zombie entertainment. The movie does, however, have some entertainment value if you are a hardcore fan of the "Night of the Living Dead" movie. But as for a regular zombie movie, then "Mimesis" failed on a grand scale. And you might just also find some enjoyment in "Mimesis" if you are the type that appreciate low-budget indie movies.The best thing about this entire movie was the tribute it paid to "Night of the Living Dead" and the entire atmosphere they managed to build up, because it was really like re-visiting the classic movie (in either the original or re-make version).Having seen it once, then I can honestly say that I will not be making a second watching out of this, because there simply isn't enough entertainment value in it.

Michael 'Hallows Eve' Smillie This movie is about a group of people who go to a Horror convention and while there they are "invited" to a "party" on a farm. They all end up waking up in strange clothing and find themselves in a familiar situation, familiar if you're a 'Night of the Living Dead' fan! - Now when I heard about this movie and after I saw the trailer I was kind of looking forward to seeing this because of the idea of it (don't want to give too much away). And with a cameo by Sid Haig in it I was thinking it would be at least decent, but after watching it I found myself a bit disappointed by the film as it didn't live up to the potential that it could have had. The plot, although imaginative, failed in the delivery by the director in my opinion. But in saying that a few people will like this movie if they are new to the genre. All I can give this film is a 3.5 out of 10.

gavin6942 A group of horror fans find themselves unwilling participants in a nightmarish role playing game that pays homage to a classic horror film.I like the idea they were going for here -- a group of people recreating "Night of the Living Dead". With all the sequels, remakes, and ripoffs, I am a bit wary of anything related to NoTLD these days. But I really think this idea had merit.However, I am not sure if it succeeded. At times, it seemed to drag, and I really disliked the role played by Sid Haig. Haig, being a well-known horror icon, should probably have played himself at the convention. In fact, for the film to make complete sense, the role would have had to be George Romero playing George Romero. I assume they know this and simply could not get him.
