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.While not a title that would instantly recommend itself, this rollicking horror comedy consistently dinged my funny bone. Director James Gunn has evidently watched a lot of early Cronenberg, John Carpenter and cult-rubbish Troma movies in preparation for his debut feature, which centres upon the invasion of a small North Carolina town by a repulsive mutant slug plague. Its victims end up either zombies or so outlandishly grotesque you can't help cackling, and that goes too for the decidedly unheroic characters of the police chief (Nathan Fillion) and sleazeball mayor (Gregg Henry).
