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.That's F as in "Fail", which describes what troubled teacher Mr Anderson (David Schofield) is doing after a traumatic attack on him by a pupil.
He's also hit the bottle, lost his wife and alienated his daughter. Can he recover his nerve when the school is invaded after hours by a gang of faceless hoodies armed with knives and monkey-wrenches? Johannes Roberts shoots creepily down gloomy corridors and contrives moments of real suspense as the stalk-and-slash proceeds, though he slightly overdoes the balletic agility of the hooded assailants. But as a tribute to master-scaremonger John Carpenter this is a promising B+.
