Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

This splatter comedy aims to marry a potty-mouthed irreverence to a tale of bloody revenge, but everything about it is so cackhanded as to be nearly unwatchable. Ross Noble plays a clown whose performance at a boy's birthday party ends in humiliation and, er, his accidental death. Six years later the boy (Tommy Knight) is throwing himself another bash when from the grave rises the clown, unforgiving of the kids he blames for his demise. Noble does a cut-price Freddy Krueger, spouting bad puns amid the spurting blood, but it's hard to envisage even his fanclub being amused by this.
