James McAvoy Will Star in a Remake of One of the Most Horrifying Movies Ever Made
Speak No Evil—the tale of two families (one Danish, one Dutch) who meet on vacation and plan a weekend reunion, which one family rapidly comes to regret—is the kind of movie that aims to traumatize the viewer… and succeeds. Now the 2022 Danish horror standout is getting an American remake starring James McAvoy.
Horrifying moment man plunges down ravine while being spun around in ‘astronaut training chair’ after it falls apart
THIS is the terrifying moment a man plunged down a ravine while being spun around on a rickety “‘astronaut training chair”.
The squeals of excitement from onlookers soon turned to screams of terror as the bloke tumbled off the cliff edge in Ayacucho, Peru.

In the footage, he is seen strapped into the dodgy contraption at the Cabrapata viewing point which boasts panoramic views of the city.
Two operators grab onto the chair every few seconds to send it into another stomach-churning spin as the crowd watches intently.
Bystanders can be heard laughing in delight as their pal flies in different directions on the chair, which is propped up by two metal posts.
But after 20 seconds of rotating, the frame began to buckle under the pressure and suddenly fell off without warning down the ravine.
The daredevil was still strapped into the DIY space simulator as he horrifyingly slipped away in front of his pals.
A shocked friend filming the stunt let out a blood-curdling scream, just moments after they were revelling at the man’s terror.
Miraculously, the bloke somehow cheated death and survived the spectacular fall.
It is thought that the frail frame that wobbled off the cliff edge saved his life, as he was strapped in to protect his head.
The thrill seeker was rushed to hospital after his near-fatal pursuit of fun, but is said to now be recovering well.
The chair is a budget version of the state-of-the-art Multi Axis Trainer used by space agencies to teach astronauts how to survive high-speed spins in weightless conditions.
The cliffside viewing point that the device was situated on is popular with tourists thanks to its spectacular views.
Extreme rides and walkways have sprung up at the beauty spot as people look to cash in on adventurous tourists who expect theme park safety standards.
Officials are now cracking down on all of them over safety fears and have closed them all pending safety checks, local media reports.

The Bill star reveals horrifying moment creeps in Audi A6 ‘tried to kidnap’ grandchildren by his home
THE BILL star Billy Murray has revealed his grandkids were almost kidnapped by five creeps in an Audi.
The concerned 81-year-old posted a video talking about his daughter’s narrow escape while out for a walk near her home in a small village in Essex.
He said his daughter, her partner and two children were walking in a “little tiny village just around the corner from our little farm”.
The children were picking wildflowers and his daughter’s partner had stopped to take a call when a black Audi A6 blocked off the road where she was walking.
The driver got out to speak to her and was “very familiar with her and chatting,” Billy said.
He claimed there was a passenger and three men in the back of the car.
They were Eastern European, he added.
He said: ” She said he was Eastern European and it was a black four-door Audi A6 and they kept looking at the children. She had this terrible fear all of a sudden. She panicked and called out to Mick.”
Billy said his daughter’s partner Mick could see the passengers getting out of the car and trying to approach the children.
He added: “They were going to kidnap my grandchildren, that’s what they assumed anyway.
“Mick yelled and screamed at them to run. As he ran over from the other side of the road they all jumped in the car and squealed off and tyres were burning everything.”
Billy warned his viewers “they’re still out there”.
He said the family called the police but officers claimed there was nothing they could do because no crime had been committed.
“It’s happening in Basildon and Grays and people are reporting it on Facebook all the time,” he said.
Billy is best known for his role in The Bill as Don Beech from 1995 to 2004.
The SunOnline has contacted Billy’s representatives for comment.

Hulu’s new docuseries ‘Stolen Youth: Inside the Cult at Sarah Lawerence’ is based on a horrifying true story
Hulu’s new docuseries Stolen Youth: Inside the Cult at Sarah Lawerence brings the story of Larry Ray’s manipulation and exploitation of a group of Sarah Lawerence students to the small screen.
The story was brought to light in 2019 in a New York Magazine feature story which led to an FBI investigation resulting in Ray being sentenced to 60 years in prison for sex trafficking, extortion, conspiracy, and forced labor last month. The three-part docuseries features first-hand accounts of Ray’s abuse that spanned a decade. Here’s the true story behind the documentary:
Netflix’s ‘Dahmer’ backlash highlights ethical issues in the platform’s obsession with true crime
Who are the victims?
Ray first met the group of sophomores at Sarah Lawerence through his daughter Talia, herself a student at the New York liberal arts college. After his release from prison in the fall of 2010, Ray moved into Talia’s dorm, inserted himself into her friends’ lives, and gained their trust through “therapy sessions” he conducted. Ray’s victims included Talia’s boyfriend at the time, and her roommates Santos Rosario, Daniel Levin, Isabella Pollok, and Claudia Drury. Later Rosario introduced Ray to his sisters Felicia Rosario and Yalitza Rosario, who also fell under his influence.
After becoming a confidant of the young people, he convinced Talia and her friends to move into a one-bedroom apartment on the Upper East Side of New York where his relationship with the students escalated. He mentally and physically tortured them, coerced them into confessing to crimes they didn’t commit through sleep-derivation, verbal abuse, and sexual humiliation, and extorted hundreds of thousands of dollars from them and their families. He forced one young woman into sex work and pocketed the hundreds of thousands of dollars she earned from it.
Who is Larry Ray?
Ray’s sphere of influence and expert manipulation extended beyond the Sarah Lawerence students. Prior to his involvement with them, the Brooklyn native became close to former NYPD commissioner Bernie Kerik, a connection that lead to a stint as an FBI informant for a pump-and-dump stock scheme operated by a capo in the Gambino family.
“Larry Ray is a psychotic con man who has victimized every friend he’s ever had. It’s been close to 20 years since I last heard from him, yet his reign of terror continues,” said Kerik in the New York Magazine article.
FBI reports revealed that Ray was an unreliable informant and may have in fact used the role to cover his own complicity in the Gambino stock fraud scheme. In 2000, he was charged for his involvement in the scheme and was sentenced to five years’ probation. By 2007, Ray would again serve time due to a child custody dispute, which prosecutors argued was a violation of his parole. It was upon his release from that charge that he preyed upon the Sarah Lawerence students.
Where is everybody?
According to New York Magazine, it was Levin who first put the pieces together that Roy’s treatment of the group was characteristic of a cult. By 2016, Yalitza and Levin had escaped from Roy’s control, but the others remained under his dominance until his arrest in 2020. What began as a normal college experience ended in unimaginable horror for this group of students.
