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.

The original 1978 cult classic caused a furore due to the lengthy gang-rape scene, and drew criticism for being exploitative.

Three decades on and we're hardened to scenes of torture, calling for the remake to go even further. The story follows Jennifer Hills, a young writer who retreats to a cabin to write her next novel, who inadvertently embarrasses a local man, leading to a violent and sexual group attack – and brutal, perverse revenge.

Not the sort of film you'll feel comfortable watching alone, or want to watch again, but the actors face the gruelling challenge the story demands head-on, creating an eerie tension throughout.
