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.

Low-grade, derivative psycho-stalker nonsense, with one touch of ingenuity – it's set in an underground car park, a grim concrete space of a kind everybody knows and dislikes.

Here our heroine, Manhattan lawyer Rachel Nichols, is trapped by over-friendly security guard Wes Bentley. The catalogue of gore and indignity is standard-issue, and audience engagement isn't helped by the psycho's lack of coherent motivation, or the director's evident belief that practically anything is scary if it's accompanied by a loud enough noise.

Bafflingly and annoyingly, the one noise you don't hear, among all the smashed-up cars, is a car alarm, which could have shut down the plot a good 30 minutes earlier. Presumably such things haven't reached America yet.
