AMEARA LAVEY: THE FIRST STAR OF VOMIT GORE by Owen Keehnen

Actress Ameara Lavey is exploding onto the indie horror scene and getting raves for her role as suicidal prostitute/stripper Angela Aberdeen in the controversial new "vomit gore" feature 'Slaughtered Vomit Dolls'. This flick by writer/director/editor Lucifer Valentine 666 incorporates gore and vomit to take cinematic repulsion to a gutsy new levels. This surprisingly artsy film owes much of its success to the dead-on performance of its leading lady. Ameara Lavey is simply unforgettable in the part. Recently I had a chance to catch up this quiet young woman and found her quite different from her groundbreaking movie character.


 
Hi Ameara, first off could you do as all a favor at www.racksandrazors.com and describe the room where you are answering these questions?

Well, to start I am in my office, and I would like to thank you for the opportunity to do this interview.

Oh, you're welceom. You've been getting fantastic reviews for your work as Angela Aberdeen, the suicidal stripper/prostitute in 'Slaughtered Vomit Dolls'. What in your background help you prepare for the role and what did you keep in mind to nail the part so well?

I didn't do alot of prep for this role, except that I was an exotic dancer. The enviornment of the shoots made it easy to keep the mood of the scene. Thank you for the compliment, I wasn't really sure that I had nailed the part, but I knew that the project was very important so I tried as best I could to use method acting and mentally become Angela.

So tell me about getting the role and capturing the vision of writer/director/editor Lucifer Valentine.

Well I had worked with Lucifer on other non related projects and at the time I wasn't really sure of the whole vision that he had in mind -- but I knew that it was something that I wanted to contibute to as much as I possibly could.  

Do you have a favorite memory of filming the movie?  

One of my favorite memories of doing the film would be the numerous times I would be sittilg beside the air conditioner at 4am after shooting all night reading page after page of dialogue. LOL.   How does it feel to be named the first star of the vomit gore genre?

Well I don't really know... Lucifer is the real star but it is nice to know that all the work we did is getting positive recognition.

It seems that a role like this would lead to all sorts of strange requests and comments...do you have a favorite something a fan has asked of you?

Not really, but when I was a dancer I had a man ask me to wear a pair of panties for a week and sell them to him EWWWW. ( I don't think so).   So what is next for you careerwise -- a nice romantic comedy?

Why you have something for me? Um I would love to do more acting -- I really miss it, a romantic comedy -- sure bring it on, I'd consider any role.

Okay, we're pulling the car into the Ameara LaVey Drive In. What three horror movies are on the triple bill and what goodies are they going to be serving up at the concession stand?

Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Arachnophobia, and Saw. I would be eating Ice cream, Smarties, and Vanilla Coke, no vodka...

And finally, what scares you in real life?   What scares me in real life? SPIDERS definitely SPIDERS,everything else I think I could handle.   Thanks Ameara and all the best to you both in life and in your career.
