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.This debut feature is a minimalist horror yarn in the style of The Blair Witch Project.
Apparently based on a true story, it focuses upon a young French couple (played by Olivia Bonamy and Michael Cohen) whose ramshackle house in the Romanian countryside is attacked one night by intruders.
But who, or what, are they? Expertly using light and shadow, the film-makers enfold us in the iron grip of a nightmare whose effect depends as much on what we hear as what we can (mostly barely) see: the sounds of footfalls, of breathing, of things going bump in the night, stealthily mark the transition from simply eerie to downright terrifying.
Indeed, so skilfully does the film shield its hand that the final "reveal" actually comes as a disappointment - the enigma was truly much harder to bear.
