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.

Cusack stars as a jaded ex-novelist who churns out travel guides to America's haunted houses. His next stop is room 1408 of a New York hotel managed by Samuel L Jackson, an establishment so terrifying that it's driven 56 guests to suicide. Adapted from a Stephen King story, the film soon runs out of places to go: there's only so much that can happen in a battle between a man and his hotel room. But it's nice to be reminded in the early, witty scenes that horror films don't always have to test our stomach for witnessing torture and mutilation. Sometimes they can be fun.
