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.

There's a brand new horror anthology on its way and judging by the first trailer, it looks set to terrify audiences.

Titled XX (no relation to Vin Diesel's xXx), the film - split into four parts - is a project led by both female actors and directors.

The trailer, which bills the film as "Four deadly tales by four killer women," flits between each story: The Birthday Party, Her Only Living Son, Don't Fall and The Box.

XX - which has been made in a similar vein to the male-heavy V/H/S films - marks the filmmaking debut of singer-songwriter St Vincent - real name Annie Clark - and elsewhere pulls together the talents of Karyn Kusama (The Invitation), Roxanne Benjamin and Jovanka Vuckovic

Acting wise, it's down to relative unknowns Natalie Brown, Melanie Lynskey Breeda Wool and Christina Kirk to head up each tale.

You can see the film's poster below.

XX is released in the US on 17 February.
