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.There's now something very quaint about a post-modern horror that chuckles at its own cleverness while sticking to stabbing and slashing as its killer's MO.
It's like Saw never happened. Wes Craven's fourth flick of the ironic blade is a sometimes smart, often tiresome re-working of the "don't you know the rules?" format that he pioneered, and no amount of "tweets" and "apps" can make it feel relevant when old hands Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox and David Arquette inexplicably return for more bloody bathos. Julia Roberts's niece Emma and the cheerleader from Heroes bring the young blood to writer Kevin Williamson's oh-so-1990s gorefest. "One generation's tragedy is the next one's joke," muses Arquette. Yeah, and it stopped being funny 10 years ago.
