Review: ‘Dangerous Animals' sets new standard for survival thrillers
As suspense thrillers go, 'Dangerous Animals' is as uncompromising as it gets. It doesn't aspire to much, but it's well-acted and well-written, looks great and full of surprises. Over and over, and in the best way, it's pure torture to watch. I screened it at home and, at one point, I had to force myself not to run out of the room. But even if, at times, you feel tempted to flee 'Dangerous Animals' like I did, you may find yourself invested enough to stick with it. A curtain raiser introduces us to the villain, Bruce (Jai Courtney), a burly bearded fellow who appears to be genial — if you don't look into his cold, skewed eyes. He's a maniac with a very particular sexual fetish involving feeding people to sharks, particularly women. In a pinch, he'll settle for a guy, but women are his favorite. Next, we meet Hassie Harrison as Zephyr, an American surfer, temporarily living in Australia so she can experience the waves there. She is rootless and unconnected, a free spirit, which makes her interesting but also vulnerable. She's the kind of woman that serial killers have been going after since the Jack the Ripper days, because she could disappear without anyone knowing it. 'Dangerous Animals' is often terrifying. The vast bulk of it consists of Zephyr being held prisoner on a psychopath's boat, trying to figure out how to outsmart and overpower an experienced murderer who is twice her weight. Some viewers will already be familiar with Harrison from her role as Laramie on the hit Western drama 'Yellowstone,' but 'Dangerous Animals' marked the first time I'd seen her, and I was impressed. The essential quality that Harrison has to convey here is a powerful survival instinct. She has to make you accept that Zephyr is willing to go to almost unimaginable extremes, and Harrison succeeds in doing that. She plays a woman whose commitment to survival is beyond jaw-dropping, and yet Harrison keeps her choices grounded and human. There's a scene late in the film, in which Harrison does the coolest and most extreme thing I've seen in a thriller since Bruce Willis shot himself through his own shoulder in order to kill the guy standing behind him in ' Live Free or Die Hard ' (2007). For 18 years, that was the ultimate benchmark of action-hero intensity, but now Harrison has him beat. The script by Nick Lepard is first-rate, if you keep in mind the kind of script a movie like this needs. It's not about witty repartee. The deft Lepard must devise a series of surprising, escalating, maddeningly frustrating, shockingly outlandish and yet strangely believable incidents. This is a variety of good writing that gets no respect, except the respect that's implicit in a rapt audience. Director Sean Byrne and cinematographer Shelley Farthing-Dawe give 'Dangerous Animals' a welcome and unexpected look that's pretty. The ocean is crystalline, and the sky is bright and blue with puffy white clouds. Even the death boat is attractive with its red, yellow and blue against a blue sea. We get the idea. Rather than taking place in a world where evil occurrences seem inevitable, 'Dangerous Animals' takes place in a world where evil isn't expected — thus making it easier for lunatics like Bruce to operate under the radar. In that way, the filmmakers keep reminding us of the agonizing fact that, aside from all the horror Zephyr is experiencing, it's otherwise a very lovely day.

He Survived a Bullet to the Head — and Became One of the Most Sadistic Killers You've Never Heard Of
Few know the name Joseph Vacher — even though his crimes surpassed those of the world's most infamous serial killers. Even Jack the Ripper — to whom Vacher is often compared — was linked to fewer than half the murders his French counterpart later confessed to before his execution in 1898. But Vacher's case — which left its mark not only on folklore but also on the field of forensic science — is rarely mentioned in conversations about history's most notorious serial killers. 'I think the reason that he disappeared into obscurity, while the name of Jack the Ripper continues to live, is that Jack was never caught,' said author Douglas Starr, whose 2010 book on Vacher and the birth of forensic science, The Killer of Little Shepherds, once led him on a step-by-step tour of the killer's life in France. Jack the Ripper 'taunted the authorities in the course of his killing spree, but no closure was ever brought to his story,' Starr says. 'To this day, every few years, someone comes up with a theory about who Jack the Ripper may have been,' the author adds, yet, 'the case of Vacher was open and shut — there was never any question of who committed the murders — although no one has ever been able to understand why.' Many have struggled to comprehend Vacher's killings. Upon his execution – via guillotine – in December 1898, The New York Times reported that Vacher's defense attorneys claimed his 'homicidal mania' was perhaps a result of having been bitten by a rabid dog when he was a child. Others at the time pointed to a failed relationship, according to the Times. Lovelorn, Vacher shot himself twice in the head after attempting to kill the woman who turned down his entreaties. Both survived and Vacher's face was permanently disfigured, Starr recounts in his book, which is based on an exhaustive review of historical documents, interviews, and research. Some texts suggest Vacher's disfigurement from the shooting led to him being mocked or stared at in public, causing him to develop a hatred for others. 'I am an Anarchist, and I am opposed to society,' Vacher admitted during his 1898 trial, according to the Times. Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage? Sign up for for breaking crime news, ongoing trial coverage and details of intriguing unsolved cases. The story of 'The French Ripper,' as Vacher became known, made international headlines after he was caught attempting to kill a farm worker before her husband and a group of neighbors fought him off and held him captive until police arrived. Vacher was a serial rapist, who assaulted his victims before and after he mutilated them, according to Le Dauphine, which looked back at the 19th-century murder case in a 2022 Crimes & Mystéres podcast episode. Vacher eventually confessed to killing at least 11 people throughout the French countryside, often stalking his victims in farm fields, leading to Starr's description of him as 'The Killer of Little Shepherds.' But French trial records show Vacher was accused of murdering more than 50 people throughout the course of his three-year spree. The victims he confessed to killing ranged between the ages of 12 and 68, while he was accused of attacking children as young as 7. His victims included men, women and children. 'Vacher was not simply evil,' says Starr, the author. 'He was a man consumed by pain and self-pity, capable of soaring passions, but also unspeakable crimes.' Read the original article on People

Moment porn star ‘dumps suitcases of body parts on bridge after beating man to death then killing partner during sex'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CCTV has captured the moment a porn star allegedly dumped a suitcase containing a couple's dismembered bodies on a bridge after killing them. Yostin Andres Mosquera kept the severed heads of Albert Alfonso, 62 and Paul Longworth, 71, in a chest freezer at their home in London, it is said. 8 Yostin Andres Mosquera is on trial for the murders of Albert Alfonso, 62, and Paul Longworth, 71 8 Mosquera allegedly in a taxi on Clifton Suspension Bridge Credit: Central News 8 A court heard the defendant took the dismembered body parts there in a suitcase to 'dispose' of them Credit: Central News 8 Mosquera was spotted abandoning the suitcase, the court heard 8 Two days later, the 35-year-old then allegedly dumped the rest of their remains in a suitcase 116 miles away on the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol. CCTV shown to the jury shows Mosquera - Colombian national who had been staying at the couple's home in Shepherd's Bush - walking backwards as he drags a heavy red suitcase at about 11.23pm. Mosquera is seen peering over a bridge wall and trying to rub away a mark, that was left on the floor where the suitcase had been, with his foot. He then urinates on it, the court heard. He is approached by two members of staff who manage the bridge, who are called away to an appointment, and is also seen by a cyclist. Jurors heard Mosquera, a Colombian national, met Albert online before coming to the UK to participate in degrading sex acts with the swimming instructor. These were posted online, with Mosquera described to jurors as a "pornographic performer". The Old Bailey was told his partner Paul had no involvement in the extreme sex side of his partner's life but accepted it. Leading up to the horror, Mosquera searched for the value of the couple's home and browsed Facebook marketplace for a chest freezer, it was said. He also allegedly copied spreadsheets containing Albert's log in details for his online bank accounts and searched for "serial killers of London" and "Jack the Ripper film". On July 8, Mosquera allegedly repeatedly bludgeoned retired handyman Paul in the back of the head with a hammer. He then went to have sex with Albert and even asked where Paul was despite knowing he was dead, it was said. At about 11.30pm on July 10 a cyclist making his way across the Clifton Suspension Bridge spotted Mosquera standing next to a large red suitcase and stopped to see if he was OK, thinking he was a tourist, jurors heard. The witness also saw a large silver trunk a few metres away from the defendant, and Mosquera told him the luggage contained car parts, jurors were told. Ms Heer said: "In fact, the suitcases contained the decapitated and dismembered bodies of Paul Longworth and Albert Alfonso, which the defendant had transported to Bristol from their home in London where they had been killed two days before." The prosecution alleges Mosquera took the suitcases to the landmark to "dispose" of them. But the jury heard he was questioned by the cyclist and bridge staff, who "noticed that something was leaking from the (red) suitcase", before he abandoned both items and ran away. The police were called and officers found the cases contained body parts. Police searched the Scotts Road address on the label of the silver trunk before finding Mr Alfonso and Mr Longworth's decapitated heads, as well as other body parts, at their flat in a chest freezer, the court heard. Footage of Mosquera grappling and then killing one of his alleged victims in a "frenzied stabbing" was today shown to the jury. The footage, with a soundtrack which captured the sound of someone appearing to struggle to breathe, was watched in silence by the jury at the Old Bailey in the trial of Yostin Andres Mosquera. He appears to say "Do you like it?" as he stabbed Albert Alfonso to death. Mosquera is being tried for the murders of Mr Alfonso, 62, and Paul Longworth, 71, on July 8 last year, in the flat the men shared in Scotts Road, Shepherd's Bush, west London. The defendant admitted the manslaughter of Mr Alfonso by way of loss of self-control, but denies and is being tried on both charges of murder. The prosecution claims Mosquera was "in complete control" of his "strategic and premeditated" actions. Mr Alfonso's death was captured on four cameras that were in his bedroom to record sex sessions with Mosquera, 35, who is seen singing and dancing in the aftermath of the attack. Mr Justice Bennathan had previously warned the jury "it is not an easy watch", and that the added soundtrack that was played on Thursday potentially "heightens" any distress in seeing it. On Thursday prosecutor Deanna Heer KC told the jury: "He takes hold of Mr Alfonso's chin with his left hand and pulls Mr Alfonso's head back, and then with his right hand, in which he is holding the knife, he stabs him." She added: "Mr Alfonso gets to his feet and tries to defend himself. "They then fall to the floor and Mr Mosquera gets on top of Mr Alfonso. "Mr Alfonso manages to stand up while Mr Mosquera has him in a headlock." Mosquera appears to say in English: "Do you like it?" Pc Nick Swire, the CCTV officer, said: "You can see Mosquera apply a knife to Mr Alfonso and blood is seen to flow down his chest." Mosquera had Mr Alfonso in a headlock and screaming can be heard. Pc Swire said: "This is the start of the frenzied stabbing to the torso and the chest." The men, who are both naked, are seen struggling with each other and wrestling to the ground. Pc Swire said that at one point you can hear a change of breathing as Mr Alfonso's "body goes limp and he loses consciousness". The footage ends with Mr Alfonso on the ground, and Mr Swire said: "There is significant blood flowing from the neck area to the floor." Mosquera is then seen singing a song in Spanish and dancing, before sitting down to look at a computer. The prosecution say that on July 8, Mosquera allegedly killed Mr Longworth and later Mr Alfonso in their flat and then "set about trying to steal from them". The court heard examination of the computer showed Mosquera created a PowerPoint of the couple's banking information, accessed a spreadsheet which contained their passwords for online banking and attempted to access Mr Alfonso's different accounts to transfer money - including trying to send £4,000 to his own account in Colombia. He made several cash withdrawals from Mr Alfonso's different bank accounts, obtaining at least £900 before the transactions began to be declined, the court was told. Mosquera is also said to have messaged Mr Alfonso's manager the morning after the killing, from the victim's phone, explaining he was flying to Costa Rica for a family emergency and planned to stay for about eight weeks. The hearing continues. 8 The alleged attack unfolded in the flat the men shared in Scotts Road, Shepherd's Bush, west London Credit: PA 8 Yostin Andres Mosquera, left, with victims Albert Alfonso and Paul Longworth
