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.

Billed as a “fright simulator”, Ju-On: The Grudge is the horror genre’s take on the party game. If you’re familiar with Japanese horror films you will know what to expect from its five scenarios: eerie houses, freakishly jointed ghouls and a cacophony of silence-piercing shrieks. Slow character movement and use of the Wii remote as a torch to pierce the shadows creates a convincing atmosphere of dread. Sadly, the effect is diminished by clumsy controls and a lack of variation in the scripted moments of horror.
