The Ex

The Ex (2021) is a Russian horror thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Yevgeny Puzyrevsky, the 90-minute film starts with a teenage blunder: a 16-year-old posts a photo of his girlfriend in a group chat, mostly to show off, then moves on with his life.

Years later he has everything sorted — a job, friends, a fiancée named Katya who is about to become his wife. Then Katya starts getting messages from her fiancé's past, and the inexplicable sets in fast. What plays out is part social-media anxiety, part supernatural horror, and entirely effective. Starring Konstantin Beloshapka and Vera Kincheva. Stream The Ex online on iFILM — rated 18+.
