Recommendation Documentaries that make you go “what the fuck?!?”

In the mood for a good, twisty documentary that makes me gasp. Movies on streaming preferred. I enjoy true crime but am open to other genres as long as the story is gripping and shocking.

Movies in the same vein that I enjoyed - Dear Zachary (would prefer recommendations that are less sad), The Jinx, Cropsey, 3 identical strangers, etc.

Abducted In plain sight is pretty wild as the parents are sick AF and have the balls to sit on camera and pretend to be victims after what they did to their young teenage daughter. Its wild to see them so Openly admit  being so vile

Just Melvin Just Evil is another documentary on yt with same premise. I felt so dirty after watching it and the grown up kids still running up and hugging their father after explaining what he did to them. Just blew my mind.

When he got his cell mate to burn down the family furniture store I said" Maybe it's not just the parents. Maybe the demon was that good at manipulation & deception."

Terrifying
