1. Worst Ex Ever, Season 2
If you ripped through Should I Marry a Murderer? and want more true crime stories about romances that turned toxic (and even deadly), then Blumhouse’s second season of Worst Ex Ever is for you.
Four new episodes told from the perspective of the exes who survived them reveal stories of betrayal, robbery, assault, and murder. Some you may have heard about, like the 90 Day Fiancé star accused of decades of domestic violence. Or the “worst ex” that kicks off Season 2: Wade Wilson, aka “the Deadpool Killer.” But even if you’ve heard of these bad boyfriends before, this series unearths shocking details that are sure to leave you rattled. — Kristy Puchko, Entertainment Editor
How to watch: Worst Ex Ever Season 2 is now streaming on Netflix.
2. Whistle
So you’re a group of students who find a creepy skull-shaped pipe and decide the best course of action is to blow into it. You’re the characters from Whistle, directed by Corin Hardy (The Nun) and written by Owen Egerton (Mercy Black). But folks, this ain’t just any cursed object, it’s an Aztec death whistle, which, if blown into, will summon your future demise. Sounds like Final Destination meets Ouija. Fun! Terrifying! Orchestral! This Fantastic Fest debut promises to freak you out and possibly deter you from ever picking up a wind instrument again. — Shannon Connellan, Senior Editor
Starring: Sophie Nélisse, Nick Frost, Michelle Fairley, Dafne Keen, Sky Yang, Jhaleil Swaby, Ali Skovbye, and Percy Hynes White

The pair’s unlikely bond brings joy to Tova’s life, as does her burgeoning connection with her younger coworker, Cameron (Lewis Pullman). Expect this one to tug at your heartstrings. — Belen Edwards

This horror comedy from writer/director Addison Heimann begins with best friends Craig (Jordan Gavaris) and Joey (Olivia Taylor Dudley), who know that her ex is bad news. But even though he’s cringe, he’s irritably alluring. No, like, he’s an extraterrestrial narcissist whose touch is like heroin.
Weird and wild, Touch Me is the kind of comedy that’s perfect for a movie night in with friends. Well, as long as your friends are weirdos too. — Kristy Puchko
