Overly complicated head scratching title aside this concept really sounded original, new and exciting to me. Two good friends on a trip to a horror convention somehow get trapped along with other con patrons in an alternate world where they are cast to relive the George A. Romero classic Night of the Living Dead! I can't tell you what an immense good time that would be until shit gets real and a walking sack of maggots starts chewing on you or your friend's vitals. Not so much fun anymore.
Now from the start to about a third of the movie this is a good zombie film, not great by any means, but certainly good. Something happens at that point though, I won't spoil it because it really tossed me on my ass, but this thing picks up speed and takes off like a fucking nuclear missile somehow making the slower start of the film, easier to digest. The character's aren't anything special as it's mostly convention tag alongs (not true fans) who wake up in this nightmare, but rest assured there is a purpose for everything. Smart, fun, and soaked in gore Mimesis is a one of a kind tasty treat for the undead eyes. Hell I'll even go one step further and label this bitch "Groovy!"
P.S. I saw this flick get bashed a lot across the internet as the trailer had music by the self proclaimed most hated band in the world the Insane Clown Posse and ended claiming the film itself also featured music by ICP. Now my thoughts on ICP aside I can tell you for better or worse there is only one ICP song in the whole damn thing and it doesn't play till the end credit crawl. So if their music was keeping you from seeing this flick, suck it up buttercup nobody is forcing you to sit through the credits unless you watch it with me; in which case you will watch the credits and enjoy the credits and not talk through the credits. :)
