 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.
