Caught on Video: Woman with Axe Attacks in 7-Eleven
Written by Brian Linsky
Early Saturday morning in Sydney, Australia, a 7-Eleven convenient store became the scene of a real life horror movie when a woman in her 20’s entered the store with an axe and began attacking unsuspecting customers.
One victim was a male described in his 30’s, who suffered a serious head injury during the ferocious attack, and was bleeding profusely from the face after being hit by the axe from close range.
Another victim was a woman in her 40’s who suffered a fractured skull as a result of the axe attack.
Photo stills from the store’s surveillance camera captures the woman holding the axe, and taking a swing at a woman exiting the store.
The woman was very fortunate to not have been more seriously injured during the onslaught, and credits her long thick dreadlocks for softening the blow of the axe.
News.com.au reports both victims were taken to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital for treatment, while the suspected assailant was apprehended and brought to St. Vincent’s Hospital for a mental evaluation.
Witnesses who were present during the brutal assault said there was blood all over the floor. Blood was everywhere.
One can only imagine what it must have been like to see such a horrific crime carried out in such a violent manner.
The female victim has been identified as 43 year old Sharon Hacker, who told the Herald Sun she was simply trying to buy a carton of milk at the time when she found herself in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Bystander Nathan Wood describes to the Herald Sun chasing the woman down the street before losing her as he called for police.
“But then she went after the person who was following behind me and swung her axe at him,” he said.
“Dude in a big coat, she swung and she missed, caught his coat and tore a big old hole through it.”
A short time after the attack, the suspect was tracked down by the police while still in possession of the bloody axe.
The disturbed woman was charged with wounding a person while intending to cause grievous bodily harm, and was denied bail on Sunday.
You can watch the in-store surveillance video of the attack below.

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed
The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.
Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.
The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.
Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”
Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

’28 Years Later’ Trilogy Taking Shape With Serious Star Power
Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.
Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.
Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.
There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.
The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.
