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.

How far would you go to be reunited with one you've lost? Even if it were just for the briefest of moments?

That's the premise behind chilling new horror The Other Side of the Door, which sees a young mother (The Walking Dead's Sarah Wayne Callies) struggling with the tragic death of her son. Seeking consolation in ancient ritual, she journeys to a local Indian temple; a sacred place where the barriers between the living and the dead grow thin.

It's there she inadvertently opens the door to the world of the dead, upsetting the balance and unleashing the wrath of the terrifying figure of Myrtu (Crimson Peak's Javier Botet).

Written and directed by Johannes Roberts, this chilling tale takes rich inspiration from Indian folklore for a film concealing a host of tricks and scares up its sleeves. Just like what awaits the deceased boy's father (Clueless' Jeremy Sisto) in our exclusive clip.

"I love stories that deal with the forbidden," Roberts said. "Don't go up in the attic, don't feed the gremlins after midnight – when you’re wondering what's going to happen and when is it going to happen."

The Other Side of the Door hits UK theatres 4th March.
