Save Yourself Set to Film
You all know how I love my horror movies and as I got sent this the other day and think it sounds like it’s going to be hella fun, I thought I’d share!
“SURVIVAL IS NOT AN OPTION” IN THE NEW FEMALE-DRIVEN
HORROR FILM ‘SAVE YOURSELF’ SHOOTING THIS SUMMER
Scream Queen Jessica Cameron Set to Star in Ryan M. Andrews’ Latest Horror Film
Following the success of his recent features, SICK, a festival favorite and Black Eve, currently available on DVD, award-winning director Ryan M. Andrews is set to direct his originally scripted Save Yourself this summer. Scream Queen Jessica Cameron will be starring in as well as producing this sexy horror flick along with Producer Emma Sutherland. Overseeing the project are executive producers Pino Halili and Allen Ormerod from multi-award winning studio
Post City Sound Inc.
The plotline for Save Yourself is as follows: En route to L.A., director Crystal Lacroix, along with by-the-numbers producer Dawn Summerville, neurotic writer Lizzy Miller, and star sisters Kim and Sasha Tobin, are riding high after a successful screening of their new horror film. But when Crystal goes missing at a rest stop, their mood suddenly changes. The others, splitting up to search for Crystal, spot an isolated farmhouse and enlist the help of its owners, quickly discovering that appearances are not always what they seem. Life imitates art as all five ladies find themselves pitted against a deranged couple hell-bent on using them for their mysterious research. Who will survive and what will be the fate of their ultimate discovery?
Having worked together in the past, Andrews and Cameron have discussed collaborating on a feature for years. Together they decided that Ryan’s script Save Yourself is the ideal choice. Award winning actor Ry Barrett (Neverlost, Desperate Souls, Antisocial) will join the cast as Save Yourself’s intense villain. This will be the first time Andrews, Cameron and Barret have collaborated since last year’s experimental short film Klymene.
Cameron’s latest film Truth or Dare has won more than two-dozen awards playing the festival circuit. She is also known for such films as the Roger Corman produced Camel Spiders, currently airing on the SyFy channel, and Steven C. Miller’s remake of Silent Night. Save Yourself marks Cameron’s 5th movie in under a year in which she is starring as well as producing.
Cameron was recently quoted as saying “This script is the sexiest and smartest female-driven horror flick that I have had the pleasure to read and I cannot wait to bring it to life with Ryan”. Talking about the female-driven story Andrews says, “I love Jean-Luc Godard’s quote ‘all you need for a movie is a gun and a girl.’ In the same way all you need for a horror is blood and a girl – and we’ve got five girls. It’s definitely going to be fun and sexy, but most importantly the women are not just one-dimensional. There is a lot of depth and development to their characters. And as a die-hard horror fan, I know just how important this is. It can’t just be another pretty face. There needs to be layers there for anyone to care when that face gets smashed.”
Filming begins later this year in Ontario, Canada. Expect more Save Yourself updates including full cast details coming soon! Please “Like” Save Yourself’s Facebook fan page and follow them on Twitter for more up-to-date information about this exciting new horror film!

Lammy 2013 Nomination
So, somehow, in some way, I have been nominated in the Best Horror Blog category in this year’s LAMMY’S. I honestly have no idea how this happened but I am so honored. I started this little site purely for fun and also because I was bored and had recently broken up with my boyfriend and was kind of lonely and was going through some pretty intensive therapy and well, life was a little messy to say the least and I needed an outlet and my first attempt at a movie blog wasn’t that great. But I got the idea for Cinema Schminema and thought I’d invite a couple of friends to maybe check it out and figured it would go the way of The Movie Slayer (my first movie blog), which is to say I figured maybe 10 people total would ever see it. Yet somehow here we are 345 followers later, several blogathons later, several wacky crossovers later and several friends made later. So to everyone who helped me get here THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart – you guys are amazing.
I’ve linked the image above to the complete list of final nominees for the 2013 LAMMY’S so be sure to check them all out – there’s several you’ll know and everyone nominated is fabulous. And if you’re a LAMB, be sure to go VOTE!! Voting ends April 30th so don’t wait!!
Also speaking of how far Cinema Schminema has come:
I’m a few days late (yep, I missed my own site’s birthday/anniversary. *sighs*) but my little experiment has now been around for a year. Hard to believe because the time has FLOWN by. So again a HUGE thank you to everybody who stops by and reads my silly little reviews about films no one wants to watch (okay, a few people want to watch ;)). And a special thank you to my very first ever commenter, Eric. You, sir, ROCK. 🙂
Alright, I’m catching up on interviews and movie watching this weekend – coming soon a review of “The Hit Girl” and an interview with Scream Queen Jessica Cameron so stay tuned!
Sand Sharks
A couple of quickies before we start our feature presentation –
Did you all listen to the last Lambcast the other day? If not, you might hear someone you know on it…Plus you get to hear the final nominees for the LAMMY’S!
Secondly, just came across this Indiegogo for a really cool looking horror film called Truth or Dare starring Scream Queen Jessica Cameron (AND it’s also her directorial debut). Looks like it might be something a lot of you guys would dig so maybe check it out and support some indie horror! 🙂
And now for the main event…..
So yeah. Sand Sharks
- Are you allowed to ride dirt bikes on the beach?
- Um…I don’t think sharks do that…or look like that…
- Oh man, is this the Jersey shore because that is one serious guido. Or porn star. Kind of hard to tell.
- Apparently you can NOT ride your dirt bike on the beach or so says the sheriff 500 TIMES.
- Obviously a coyote ripped the biker’s head off. Totes.
- This guido/porn star makes me want to go take a shower.
- Brooke Hogan!! Why does she have an acting career and I don’t?? 😦
- Why is Brooke Hogan always in shark movies?
- Ohhhhhhh, this guy buried in the sand up to his head is not going to last long I think. Also he’s a whiny little bitch.
- Being buried in the sand is the most ridiculous thing that has ever happened to him – whiny boy has had one boring life apparently.
- “Ow. Ow.” so that’s how you react when a sand shark starts to eat you.
- I LOVE THIS INTERN. She just said “hella”. Any second she’s gonna break out the “TOTES”!!
- Please tell me that deputy is NOT Jewel Staite.
- “You expect thousands of college students to sleep in tents?” Has this woman ever MET a college student?
- Okay, so the last time guido/porn star threw a party 15 people died. Obviously he should NOT be throwing another party…
- Also the sand shark has finally been sighted by people! I mean, other than the people that have been eaten.
- Did I mention that guido/porn star is throwing a “rager” called “Sand Man”? That’s the opposing story line here.
- I think this movie is stealing from “Jaws”…
- I…what? There’s a crusty old fisherman who’s stepping up to catch the sand shark…and he talks like Popeye….
- Um, sheriff? Brooke Hogan is like half your age if not more so. Stop hitting on her now. You’re being totes creepster.
- Looks like crusty old fisherman wasn’t really up to the task of catching the sand shark – the sand shark that attacked in WATER.
- Guido/porn star just referred to himself as “Big Daddy” – that is how I shall refer to him from now on too.
- Big Daddy is ignoring all warnings of sand sharks (of course) so I imagine more than 15 people are going to die this time.
- OH snap. Not just a sand shark but a dino tiger sand shark!
- The sand dino tiger shark just ate the power cord that was laying on the beach – the gigantic power cord that seems to control the power to the whole town.
- Now it’s night…now it’s day…now it’s night…who needs continuity?
- So much melodrama for a movie of this nature!
- Brooke Hogan is trapped by the sand shark!! Creepster sheriff is going to try to save her!
- Wow, that was anticlimatic. Sand sharks are slow.
- There are so many idiots in this movie. I’ve lost count.
- Okay, that was by far the funniest moment from Big Daddy and it was after his dad got eaten.
- WHOA!! Sand shark just got all blown up with electricity and now the entire world is without power!
- Big Daddy is obviously bi-polar. One second he’s crying, the next he’s ranting, then he’s manic – it’s like me on a bad day.
- I never understood the appeal of spring break. Does that make me weird?
- Ew, she just licked his face – out of nowhere. That was gross.
- Hahahahaaaaa!!!!!! Way to make fun of yourself, movie!
- “Are you serious right now??” “As a heart attack…or shark attack…”
- Oooohhhh, intern, I liked you before but I like you even better now for knocking that guy out to get ahead.
- And literally throwing that dude to the shark? Bitch, you rule.
- Are you freaking kidding me, there’s 30 minutes of this movie left??
- One for my homies, one for me. These people know how to party.
- BAD BAD tan, orange girl. BAD.
- Never show your boobs to a shark made of sand because then a sand shark will eat you. Just ponder that for a moment.
- Nobody knows how to run in this movie. Why??
- Now there’s like 800 million sand sharks!!
- I don’t think guns work on sand sharks.
- I really just like saying sand sharks again and again.
- Holy FUCK they just killed off someone that I wasn’t expecting!! I can’t believe the movie got me!
- Also intestines cannot really go back in the body once they’re out.
- Being stoned during a sand shark attack is not helpful to anyone.
- Grizzly fisherman is back! I totes thought he was dead!
- So those 30 extras represented thousands of teenagers?
- WHAT??? Okay, the plan is to lure the sand sharks up the beach, then melt the sand with electricity. What could possibly go wrong?
- Seriously, this movie just keeps getting funnier and funnier. They’re playing Sousa to lure the sharks to the beach so they can electrify/melt them. (At least I think it’s Sousa).
- So electricity means a flame thrower…gotcha…
- WTF??? *giggles*
- I really think she actually just said “Eat this, you sand of a bitch.”
- Oh thank goodness, it’s over. Where is that whiskey I bought earlier??
