Ynw Melly was super tight with the family of one of his alleged murder victims -- so much so, he has the guy's mother's name tattooed on his neck. Jana Thompson tells TMZ ... her son, Anthony Williams, loved Ynw and the other suspect, Cortlen Henry, like brothers. She says, "We opened up our homes & our hearts to them."

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.

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.

Mimesis (Noun) – imitation or reproduction of the supposed words of another, as in order to represent his or her character.
Horror movies, violent video games, valueless television programming, hateful music – all blames for societies problems. Not to sound desensitized and emotionless, but every time there’s another shooting, media outlets immediately turn to what movies or music the perpetrator was indulging in, blaming the likes of Marilyn Manson and torture porn horror films for the world’s problems, instead of abused and psychologically scarred upbringings, mental instability, and other real factors that drive certain people to such acts of depravity.
That’s where Mimesis comes in.
