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.You've heard movies described as a "rollercoaster ride". This third instalment of the macabre comedy-thriller takes the literal approach by setting its long opening sequence on just such a ride - not quite as horrific as the first film's plane explosion, but unpleasant enough. The cast, mostly newcomers, is thereafter picked off in a variety of grisly ways, the gimmick being that Death announces itself as a stiffening breeze before making lethal mischief with sunbeds, runaway trucks and nailguns. The writer-director, James Wong, allows invention to run riot, and challenges the comforting truism that "everyone is equal before death": why is it, asks one character, that innocents are slaughtered when "pimps and vice presidents" go unharmed for years? Something to ponder while the body count climbs.
