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.

Sam Raimi returns to shock (and schlock) tactics with Drag Me to Hell – a jumpy journey so saturated in sputum and gore that it's fitting the film's antagonist should have the ability to transmutate into a grubby handkerchief.

Christine (Alison Lohman) is a young bank clerk. When Lorna Raver's leathery crone, Mrs Ganush, drops in to ask for an extension on her mortgage repayments, Christine (silly girl) refuses. Mrs Ganush (stock hag – glass eye, terrible fingernails and a problem with projectile vomiting) waits for Christine after work and places a curse that will send Christine to hell in three days, unless she can satiate the hoofed hordes. It is, in all, gratuitous, hammy and silly – but then that's probably the point.
