Unbelievable secret behind year's 'most terrifying film' Bring Her Back's vomit-inducing scenes
It's been dubbed 'the most terrifying horror film' of the year. Bring Her Back, from Australian directors Danny and Michael Philippou, follows two siblings who find themselves caught up in an occult ritual by their foster mother. The supernatural chiller rattled moviegovers over the weekend, with many claiming that the film's stomach-churning scenes had left them nauseous. One shocking scene sees troubled Ollie, played by 12-year-old child star Jonah Wren Phillips, being fed a piece of fruit on the end of a large knife by his foster brother Andy. When Andy turns his back, Ollie begins voraciously gnawing on the knife in order to satiate a demonic spirit inside of him. As he chews on the razor-sharp blade, blood begins gushing everywhere and his teeth begin to crack and become dislodged. In another scene, the demon completely takes over Ollie's body and he begins trying to eat everything in sight, including the edge of a wooden table that immediately splinters and starts tearing into the child's face. Explaining the secrets behind both horrific scenes, prosthetic FX designer Larry Van Duynhoven told Variety that they used a set of prosthetic teeth and added some chocolate to the prop table to disguise the taste for Phillips, who plays Ollie. 'He was able to really go to town because we had the dentures that helped protect his teeth and mouth,' Van Duynhoven said. 'The dental technician designed some breakaway teeth in the dentures, so some of those teeth snap off.' Phillips added, 'They said they put chocolate in it a little bit. I didn't taste it because I had blood in my mouth. It was more of a texture because they hollowed it out so it was really crunchy.' Director Danny Philippou told Polygon, 'The entire table was laced with chocolate, so he enjoyed eating it. He was still munching on it between takes.' For the jaw-dropping knife scene, a rubber prop was used whenever Phillips was present, and then a puppet head whenever they needed to use a real blade. Philippou added, 'We had a [prop replacement for Jonah's head], so we could put a real knife in this fake head and rip his lip.' Bring Her Back opened in US theaters over the weekend, pulling in $7 million. Critics have praised the film so far, while viewers have been left sick by some of the violence and realistic practical effects. 'Bring Her Back made me so nauseous, it was so good,' gushed one fan on X, formerly Twitter. 'Bring Her Back WAS SOOOO GOOD I felt sick watching that scene,' added a second, while a third wrote, 'Bring Her Back is sick. Definitely seeing it again.' A fourth wrote, 'If y'all need a movie to watch this week go see Bring Her Back in theaters. My first time ever a movie made me literally set up to vomit. The plot is crazy too.' Bring Her Back is from the directors of Talk To Me, which is currently the highest-grossing horror film in A24 history. According to the filmmakers, the flick is so scary moviegoers passed out during preview screenings. 'We've had three faintings,' Danny admitted during an interview on Australian talk show The Project. Oscar-nominated English actress Sally Hawkins, 48, known for her roles in Paddington, Wonka and Happy-Go-Lucky, stars in Bring Her Back. Hawkins plays grieving mother Laura, who attempts to bring her daughter back from the dead using a paranormal ritual.

Ex-Bush official makes shocking claim about who is REALLY running the world: 'It's demonic'
A former Bush administration official has made a shocking claim that a mysterious group, she calls Mr Global, is actually pulling the strings in the world. Catherine Austin Fitts, who served as the US Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for Housing, appeared on the Danny Jones Podcast this week, saying she believes it is a committee of intelligent beings from other dimensions. She explained that world leaders 'are over-influenced by the occult' and are merely puppets. 'I think you have interdimensional intelligence, which is operating demonic intelligence,' Fitts added. Fitts is a prolific conspiracy theorist who has pushed other extreme views such as the COVID pandemic, with its lockdowns and vaccine passports, was to roll out a new, authoritarian financial system. She also believes the vaccines modify human DNA. Speaking about the secret committee, she referenced the Bible, which she said describes both divine and demonic intelligence, claiming the latter is what we are currently dealing with. Fitts has long promoted the idea of a 'Mr Global,' saying the group aims to enslave people through mind control and manipulate global financial systems. She believes this is being carried out through the rollout of robotics, artificial intelligence, satellite systems and central bank digital currencies, tools she claims allow for constant surveillance, automation and centralized decision-making. Fitts is an investment banker and former public official who served under President George H.W. Bush from 1989 to 1990. She also held the role of managing director at Dillon, Read & Co. During her appearance on the Danny Jones Podcast, Fitts was asked to define 'Mr Global.' 'It's the committee that runs the world,' she said. She explained that even those in high-ranking positions, including the White House, likely do not know who exactly comprises this group, but she believes it consists of wealthy elites acting on behalf of a larger, hidden agenda. However, there are no officials who have come forward to confirm her claims. Fitts referenced Nick Redfern's book Final Events and the Secret Government Group on Demonic UFOs and the Afterlife, which investigates a secret US government unit known as the 'Collins Elite.' According to the book, this group concluded that many UFO phenomena are not extraterrestrial, but rather manifestations of demonic entities aiming to deceive and manipulate humanity. 'I don't know anything about [Redfern], but it struck me as someone who was trying to do a faithful job of simply reporting what they found,' said Fitts. However, there is no evidence showing the Collins Elite exists. The conversation then turned to the subject of extraterrestrials and spiritual warfare. 'There are a lot of folks in the intelligence community who publicly state how they believe the whole UFO phenomenon is like this biblical thing, how it's angels and demons,' said Jones. 'Legitimate people in the intelligence community, whether they're still active or retired, or have been on podcasts, say they believe this.' Fitts agreed: 'I think we are dealing with demonic and angelic forces in our world. And that's interdimensional intelligence.' The former official made headlines earlier this month after appearing on the Tucker Carlson Network where she claimed that the US government is secretly preparing for a mass extinction event on Earth. Fritss said she found $21 trillion in unaccounted funds was diverted to covert projects between 1998 and 2015. 'One of the things I've looked at in the process of looking at where all this money is going is the underground base, city infrastructure and transportation system that's been built,' she said. Based on a two-year study, Fitts estimated there are approximately 170 underground facilities in the US and potentially under surrounding oceans, connected by a secret transportation network. When Carlson asked about their purpose, Fitts responded, 'A near-extinction event,' suggesting the bases are designed to protect elites during a catastrophic scenario. Fitts offered few specifics about the impending threat but pointed to climate change, resource mismanagement, natural disasters, geopolitical conflicts, or societal collapse as possible triggers. In a striking revelation, Fitts claimed she was offered a place in an underground base but declined, stating she preferred to 'take my chances on the surface.' While she made the claims on the Tucker Carlson Network, there is no evidence that the US has 170 secret underground bases. However, Michigan State University economist Mark Skidmore and his team found $21 trillion in unauthorized spending in the Departments of Defense and Housing and Urban Development from 1998 to 2015. Skidmore worked with Fitts around that time, uncovering that the Army had $6.5 trillion in unsupported adjustments in fiscal 2015 alone. Given the Army's $122 billion budget, which meant unsupported adjustments were 54 times the spending authorized by Congress, Skidmore shared in the 2017 report. They also found 170 journal voucher adjustments that are used to correct errors in existing accounting entries or to make necessary adjustments at the end of a reporting period to ensure accurate financial statements. The adjustments amounted to $2.1 trillion.
