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.In Sean Hogan's paranormal thriller, the spirit of Aleister Crowley gatecrashes a Pinteresque scenario involving two hitmen.
Old-hand Pinner (Billy Clarke) and his idiot sidekick Cully (Jack Gordon) prepare for the arrival of a man their boss wants disposed of; while they wait Pinner tells a story of an old gangland hit from his past.
But the present, in the form of pentagrams and human sacrifices, turns out to be more than either man can handle.
The film's forebears nod to The Dumb Waiter and to John Wyndham's chilling supernatural tale Close Behind Him, with the occult implications gathering in menace around them.
The low budget eventually tells on the enterprise – the special effects look and sound tinny – but committed performances by the two leads see it through.
