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.Having spawned Saw, Wolf Creek and, most recently, The Babadook, Australia has another horror property that looks set to do terrifying business.
Scare Campaign is best described as following a prank-gone-extremely-wrong. Upping the ante due to the emergence of harder edged web shows, the crew behind a popular prank television series set up a more elaborate ruse - but pick the wrong victim to perform their trick on.
You can watch the trailer below - but be warned: it's not for the fainthearted.
The trailer contains an intriguing mix of horror styles and seems to merge the supernatural genre with 70s exploitation as well as an obvious nod to Michael Powell's 1960 horror classic Peeping Tom.
Written by Colin and Cameron Cairnes, Scare Campaign stars Olivia DeJonge (who starred in last year's M. Night Shyamalan chiller The Visit), Meegan Warner and Ian Meadows.
There is currently no word on a UK release date but, with any luck, a distributor will be attached to Scare Campaign no time.
