The Classic Vampire Returns This October in ‘Mimesis: Nosferatu’ and We’ve Got the Trailer [Exclusive]
From the creator of Mimesis: Night of the Living Dead comes another new take on a horror classic with Mimesis: Nosferatu, which Cinedigm brings to Digital and DVD on October 13.
The Mimesis films center on a subculture of extreme horror fans who engage in deadly role-playing games based on classic movies from the genre. In Mimesis: Night of The Living Dead, director Douglas Schulze paid homage to George Romero’s classic, following gamers who took their love of zombies to a new level complete with flesh eating. Mimesis: Nosferatu centers on vampirism as new recruits are lured to play a real-life version of F.W. Murnau’s Nosferatu.
“My intention with the Mimesis franchise is to pay homage to horror classics,” said Director Douglas Schulze. “I wanted to find a way to celebrate classic horror and explore what makes some of us so passionate about our love for the genre and with Mimesis: Nosferatu, do that by exploring what drives some horror fans to the extreme and how cults are born.”
When the curtain falls, the body counts rise in Mimesis: Nosferatu. At Harker Arts Academy, the chance to star in the school’s upcoming play is something any student would kill for; unfortunately this year that might be the price. When it is announced the drama club will adapting F.W. Murnau’s vampire classic Nosferatu, no one realizes that they have unwittingly been pulled into their own horror film. With opening night fast approaching, the blood begins to spill, and it is unclear if anyone will still be alive by the time the curtain rises.

The film stars Golden Globe Nominee Lance Henriksen (“Millennium”, Aliens, Alien vs. Predator), Allen Maldanado (Straight Outta Compton, “Black-ish”), Connor Alexander (C.R.T., The Golden Realm) and also features Kristy Swanson (Buffy the Vampire Slayer).
