Mimesis: Night of the Living Dead (2011)

Synopsis: A horror fan and his friend experience real life terror as they find themselves caught in a living Night of the Living Dead.

The Good: This film is really clever and has great commentary on reality and folks that refuse to take responsibility for their actions. It's also one of the coolest uses of the public domain and Night of the Living Dead. The film also features the always fantastic, Sid Haig.

The Bad: The death scenes tend to be done in a sped up film modern style, which is a shame because the flick uses practical effects.

Final Thoughts: This is another blu-ray I picked up for a few bucks. I didn't expect anything good. I was pleasantly surprised. If you're a fan of zombies and the original Night of the Living Dead, you should check this one out.

In Your Game: From a gaming standpoint, this film is brilliant. The main villains are essentially psycho LARPers.
