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.Things aren't great in the Midwestern town of Ogden Marsh (pop. 1260) An airplane full of experimental toxins has crashed in the local swamp, poisoning the water supply.
You can tell which locals are infected by their furious expressions, disintegrating faces and fondness for murder and arson. Then the military arrive to seal off the town and shoot anything that moves. Through this doubly lethal Hades walks David the sheriff (the Gary Cooper-ish Olyphant) and his pregnant wife, Judy, encountering nutters in the diner and zombies in the carwash. This remake of George A Romero's 1973 movie is gross, bloody and savagely effective, with its palette of sickly browns and reds, and the nasty surprises that jump out of clapboard barns and innocent meadows.
