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.Forty years on from his debut Night of the Living Dead, George A Romero reintroduces a zombie pandemic to America – like they don't have enough social problems already.
A group of student film-makers are deep in the woods when they hear news of another rising of the dead. The director Jason (Joshua Close) films the team as they flee for safety, encountering the National Guard, an Amish farmer, and a load of dead-eyed flesh-eaters en route.
Romero's not afraid to spray the blood around, and the stalk-and-slay formula still earns him a few frights. But the Old Etonian professor with a taste for archery, booze and nihilist humour adds a surreal note of parody the film can barely sustain.
