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Your support makes all the difference.Low-budget horror films based around found footage began to seem outdated not long after The Blair Witch Project (1999) but this British excursion into the form is surprisingly enjoyable.
It blends sarcastic humour with one or two moments that will give audiences a real jolt.
Vatican investigators are exploring strange goings-on at a remote country church. The local priest thinks that they are evidence of miracles but the investigators suspect either a hoax or something far darker.
There are dutiful nods in the direction of The Omen, The Exorcist and The Wicker Man. The writer-director Elliot Goldner makes inventive use of his West Country settings.
As the heavy-drinking ghostbuster, blustering Scottish comedian Gordon Kennedy (Absolutely) combines cynicism, gravitas and, eventually, the inevitable blind terror.
