Mimesis - La nuit des morts vivants

The film itself doesn't work as a horror. As a tribute, it is nice, but there is no needed atmosphere here. The plot lacks momentum and scenes that should be fast-paced and breathtaking are incredibly slow and dragging. The viewer simply watches a series of individual scenes, some of which more or less resemble the film from 1968, but otherwise, "Mimesis" is an incredibly empty film, with its idea quickly revealed. The viewer realizes this probably even before the film itself tells them. (06/11/2013)
