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.

A non-final version of Trey Edward Shults' critically-acclaimed new horror film It Comes at Night premiered at Overlook Film Festival at the weekend, and this morning producers A24 have released the first trailer for it.

Starring Joel Edgerton and Riley Keough, it's synopsis is as follows:

Secure within a desolate home as an unnatural threat terrorizes the world, the tenuous domestic order a man has established with his wife and son is put to the ultimate test with the arrival of a desperate young family seeking refuge. Despite the best intentions of both families, paranoia and mistrust boil over as the horrors outside creep ever-closer, awakening something hidden and monstrous within him as he learns that the protection of his family comes at the cost of his soul.

It Comes at Night drew sweepingly positive reviews following its premiere, with Uproxx noting that "there are only a few scares, at least not of the easy jump scare variety, but the film is almost relentlessly scary."

It is set to open in US cinemas on 9 June, with a UK release date to follow.
