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.

Washed up as an author, Edgar Allen Poe is forced to turn detective when a Baltimore serial killer starts lifting murder methods from his own macabre stories.

John Cusack enjoys himself as the hard-drinking Poe, and it's fun to see this gimmicky horror-thriller treat his oeuvre as the model for Seven and Saw. But neither the screenwriters, nor the film's villain have come up with a more compelling reason for the gory crimes.
