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.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the film you're about to see is a homage to 'no reason'," explains Stephen Spinella's cop to camera at the start of this wonderfully deranged horror.

The "plot" centres on a demonic tyre, with psychokinetic powers, who – for "no reason" – terrorises everything in its path. We witness the tyre's birth, its initial struggle to spin, its first slaying – a plastic bottle – before moving on to small creatures (bunnies, bugs) and then bigger creatures – the rubber ring takes to exploding human heads. Rubber is an unhinged, very droll (watching the tyre take a shower is something to behold) exercise in Brechtian cognitive estrangement, and a parody of US horror cinema.
