Miranda Clark (Chase Masterson) is a social worker with a lot of dedication, some people might say she is sometimes too dedicated. In this case, she is looking for a kidnapped young girl and no matter what it takes, she is unwilling to leave the case, until the truth is uncovered. She hasn't had to much success thus far, but when she hears about a strange, isolated place called Sammyville, she decides to venture there herself. This area is buried within a wooded area and it is ruled by one man, Sammy (Paul Wadleigh), as well as his ever present six shooter. But she is turned away at every attempt to go inside Sammyville, though she isn't going to surrender, not now and not ever. She soon runs into a drifter named Cam Sutherland (David Drayer), who seems to know some things about the unusual area and how to get inside the boundaries. As Miranda delves deeper inside the mysterious Sammyville, she stumbles across some dark secrets, but will the truth ever be allowed to leave this secluded, unknown area?

...Sammyville turns out to be a decent picture. The main draw is Chase Masterson, who is fun to watch and turns in a solid effort, as per usual. This movie has some good suspense, an unusual premise, and in the end, turns out to be decent.

Chase does quite well and manages to keep her chin up and deliver a solid performance. Of course, she looks fantastic and makes it a pleasure to watch her in action, but she is also a gifted performer, which she proves here.

The soundtrack was composed by Jonathan Price and includes a song he wrote for the movie called "I Didn't Know" which sounds very much like Chase's voice but was sung by Monique Donnelly who did an excellent job.

Price has been busy since Sammyville came out. Dabo! caught up with him to see what he's been doing these days.

Price:   I just finished scoring a film called PEACE & RIOT, starring Ben Savage, Anna Pheil, Jake Busey, Janet Wood and Richard Riehle. Coincidentally, the song, "I Didn't Know" is used in a cafe scene.

I also have a chamber opera being performed at the historic Blinn House in Pasadena on October 15th. It's called ĘSOPERA and is a collection of mini-operas inspired by Ęsop's fables. I'll be posting more information and recordings of the opera on my Facebook site.

Autographed copies of the DVD are available on the Sammyville page.
