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.Dan Rosen, writer of The Last Supper, adds a directing credit to his CV with this blackly comic thriller which unfurls like a Les Diaboliques for the Scream crowd.
American universities award straight As to room-mates of suicides, so in Dead Man's Curve, two friends (Michael Vartan and Scream's Matthew Lillard) try to increase their chances of entering Harvard by killing their "roomy", and then disguising the murder as suicide. Problematically, the body goes missing. Thereafter, the plot constantly threatens to overreach itself as the protagonists deceive and betray each other. That it does not is down to Rosen's assured direction and compelling script; together they keep this deliciously sick teen pic on the rails, and the dark laughs coming to the bitter end.
