A disparate group of people including a young girl attend a lecture by a horror film-maker. Invited to a select after party, they wake up in bizarre surroundings. One of the first group - two buddies - are attacked by a zombie, and is very badly wounded. They are joined by a woman, and make it to the house where in the disjointed introduction the householder - a farmer - and his apparently disabled wife are murdered. All very confusing so far, and obviously supernatural, though it turns out these zombies are anything but. The clue to what is happening is in the film's title; mimesis refers to life imitating art, in this case a group of sickos have decided to recreate the classic 1968 horror film "Night Of The Living Dead".
Clearly "Mimesis..." scores for originality, but if zombies are beyond belief, so are the logistics and leaps of faith the viewer is supposed to make here. In the original film, everybody died. Does that happen here? If you stick around to find out you won't be disappointed, but you probably won't be enthralled either.
