Not to be confused with another horror film of the same name currently in production, This Dark Below is not a H.P. Lovecraft inspired film, but rather a great looking thriller in the vein of Buried.
In the film directed by Douglas Schulze, a kidnapper traps Rachel, a young woman in a wetsuit, and holds her prisoner under the ice of a frozen lake. Sounds chilling doesn't it? Get it?

The Dark Below is Douglas Schulze's (Dark Fields) new stunt, while waiting to shoot the sequel of his clever Mimesis, he crafts for us a Machiavellian and claustrophobic thriller in line with Buried.

Since I’m not much of a winter guy, any horror movie involving copious amounts of ice and freezing temperatures sounds like a terrifying time, and that’s before any crazed Yetis or other murderous demons threaten to turn the pure, white snow a deeper shade of red. Add into that scenario the thought of being trapped underwater, which happens to be my biggest fear, and you’ve stumbled into one of my recurring nightmares – a nightmare that director Doug Schulze is bringing to life in his next film, The Dark Below.
According to the very first press release, The Dark Below is a chilly, submerged “survival thriller set mostly beneath a frozen lake as a diver tries to stay alive while a killer lurks above.” Starring Veronica Cartwright (Alien, Witches of Eastwick) and Lauren Shafer (Mimesis), the film was shot in the dead of winter at Michigan’s Great Lakes,...

While Douglas Schulze is working on a sequel to Mimesis, we’ve heard that he has an additional project in the works that will begin production later this month. Titled “The Dark Below,” this movie is billed as an “experimental thriller” with a storyline that is being kept a secret.
What we do know is that the movie takes place on Lake Michigan and a majority of it will occur underwater. Production starts at the end of February, although filming will span the entire year in phases due to weather requirements. The film is being shot on the Red Epic and will utilize special underwater camera rigging for photography.
The cast is still being assembled, but the first person to officially join is Lauren Shafer (Mimesis). Douglas Schulze will direct from a script he co-wrote with Jonathan D’Ambrosio. Ambrosio will produce along with former Sony pictures VP Kathryn McDermott (Spider-Man,...

Mimesis: Night of the Living Dead Blu-Ray Review
Starring: Allen Maldonado, Lauren May Shafer, Jana Thompson, Gavin Grazer with Courtney Gains and Sid Haig.
Written by Douglas Schulze and Joshua Wagner
Directed by Douglas Schulze
Mimesis, the word meaning ‘mimicry’ or ‘imitation’, is the beginning of what the filmmakers hope to be a series of films in which the premise is that a group of ‘thrill seekers’ set out to recreate classic horror films and play them out their way. The first of these films, Mimesis: Night of the Living Dead, comes to DVD and Blu-Ray Feb 10 from Anchor Bay Entertainment.
Seven complete strangers, whose only common link is a love for classic era horror films and their attendance at the same horror convention, are invited to attend an exclusive “horror fan” party at a remote farm after convention hours. The group wake the next day, apparently drugged,...

People always point to violent video games and violent movies as a reason to why someone might commit a horrible crime in real life, but Mimesis plays on that claim and brings it to a scary new level of fandom. What if horror fans actually re-enacted their favorite horror movies, joining some cult-like club in which victims are unknowingly lured into a real-life role-playing event of deadly proportions? What if you woke up in a random location with zombies actually chasing you and eating the people around you just as in George A. Romero’s Night Of The Living Dead? Well if you believe violent films are corrupting the most impressionable of minds, Mimesis is likely to become your worst nightmare.

As ShockYa reported in our interview with “Mimesis” director Douglas Schulze, “Mimesis” inolves taking horror to the next level by bringing in the fan’s involvement and love for the genre. In fact, Schulze said he got the idea for “Mimesis” from two convention-goers having to be detained by security for terrorizing other patrons. This intensity is directly expressed in the film, as it involves a group of fans acting the film out in real life, right down to killing kidnapped victims. “Mimesis” stars Allen Maldonado as Duane, a fast-talking, cock-sure type of guy who’s attending a horror convention with his best friend and horror fan Russell (Taylor Piedmonte).

Mimesis: Night of the Living Dead was released to Blu-ray/DVD today and I wanted to share my recent interview with the movie’s director and co-writer, Douglas Schulze. We talked about his reasons for moving forward with this type of movie, the challenges of using George Romero’s classic to tell a new story, and I also learned about sequel plans:
Many people are taking Night of the Living Dead and just remaking it, while you used it as a starting point for a new movie. How did this idea originally come about?
Douglas Schulze: The story for Mimesis is very timely because of what’s happening in our world. People are so influenced by art and cinema that they go out and do the things you hear or read about. I’ve been asked if I have concern for the type of story I’m doing,...

Today Douglas Schulze's latest genre effort, Mimesis (review here), arrives on DVD and Blu-ray courtesy of Anchor Bay. Inspired by George A. Romero's classic Night of the Living Dead, it follows a group of horror fans stuck reliving the terrifying events of the 1968 film... but for real.
In anticipation of the flick's release, Dread Central recently chatted with Schulze about how a real-life incident inspired his unique twist on Romero's original story, his thoughts on walking the fine line of homage and remakes, sequel plans for Mimesis and much more.

*there are spoilers here. Director: Douglas Schulze. Writers: Douglas Schulze and Joshua Wagner. Cast: Allen Maldonado, Sid Haig, Lauren Mae Shafer, Courtney Gains, Taylor Piedmonte, David G.B. Brown, Jana Thompson, and Gavin Grazer. Douglas Schulze's (Hellmaster) latest horror feature is titled Mimesis. Mimesis simply means imitation. In this film, Mimesis is defined as life imitating art. Schulze manages to introduce a social message amongst all of the cannibalism, eye gougings and pitchfork murders. This message involves media and its portrayal of violence and its relation to real life violence. This message is certainly relevant now, but Mimesis is also an entertaining outing. The film is clever and the conflict is well written and well disguised. The film's story initially follows Duane (Allen Maldonado) and Russell (Taylor Piedmonte). These two are friends and they head off to a horror convention. Here, they meet the raccoon eyed Judith (Lauren Mae Shafer), who.

Zombies have already infiltrated our televisions via The Walking Dead, and they are invading our cinemas this year via Warm Bodies and World War Z. Mimesis taps into the zombie craze by acknowledging George A. Romero’s wealth of influence on the topic via Night of the Living Dead.
Two buddies (Allen Maldonado and Taylor John Piedmonte) at a horror convention eagerly accept a gothic chick’s (Lauren Mae Shafer) invitation to an after-party at a farmhouse in the middle of the nowhere. The following morning, they wake up in bizarre costumes and find themselves trapped in the house, hiding from a swarm of zombies. Your ability to figure out what is happening relies on how well you remember Night of the Living Dead. When Maldonado’s Duane barges into the basement to...

ShockTillYouDrop.com has an exclusive first look at the official trailer for Mimesis: Night of the Living Dead, an Anchor Bay release coming February 12th.
In the film, a group of horror fans find themselves unwilling participants in a living nightmare that pays homage to a classic horror film. Seven complete strangers whose only common link is a love for classic era horror films are invited to attend an exclusive “horror fan” party at a remote farm.
Sid Haig and Courtney Gains star. This is Sid's second film to carry the "Night of the Living Dead" moniker behind Night of the Living Dead 3D.
In the director's seat is Doug Schulze, who also helmed Dark Fields in 2009 and Hellmaster. And, according to the IMDb, Schulze is in post-production on Mimesis 2. So there's that. The sequel finds kids playing a role playing game that has them living out Nosferatu.
