Prime Video added some must-watch movies in February, and they’re a great choice if you’re in the mood for a thrilling, nail-biting story.

Among the best streaming services, Prime Video is always a winner for adding new movies frequently. This February, the streamer added over 60 new movies, but three stood out to me that feel perfect for a midweek thrill.

Searching

Rotten Tomatoes score: 92%
Length: 102 minutes
Director: Aneesh Chaganty
Main cast: John Cho, Debra Messing, Michelle La, Joseph Lee

Social media is a huge part of our everyday lives, and this tense thriller is unique for being set entirely on computer screens and smartphones. We follow a desperate father who is trying to find out what happened to his missing teenage daughter by calling, video chatting, and searching for information online.

It keeps you guessing throughout, and I was absolutely hooked from start to finish. This was Aneesh Chaganty’s feature-length directorial debut, and it’s such an achievement that I love revisiting this one even though I know what’s coming, because it’s so well put together.

The Grey

Rotten Tomatoes score: 80%
Length: 117 minutes
Director: Joe Carnahan
Main cast: Liam Neeson, Frank Grillo, Dermot Mulroney, Dallas Roberts, Joe Anderson

Liam Neeson leads the cast of this terrifying thriller, in which he plays a man fighting for survival after a plane crashes in Alaska. He’s joined by other survivors, but they’re not alone, as they soon end up being stalked by grey wolves looking for their next meal.

There are plenty of tense moments here as the group has to try to navigate the wilderness with very limited supplies. Not only do they have wolves to contend with, but freezing temperatures and unfamiliar surroundings turn their planned trip into a total nightmare.

No Way Out

Rotten Tomatoes score: 92%
Length: 114 minutes
Director: Roger Donaldson
Main cast: Kevin Costner, Gene Hackman, Sean Young, Will Patton

Finally, here’s a critically acclaimed ’80s movie if you want a blast from the past. With an all-star cast and a clever script, this is an excellent pick to entertain you after a long day.

The movie revolves around a naval officer who begins a romantic relationship with the mistress of the Secretary of Defense. When she’s found dead, he ends up in more trouble than he bargained for. This one is messy and full of drama, ideal ingredients for a thriller.

Lucy is a long-time movie and television lover who is an approved critic on Rotten Tomatoes. She has written several reviews in her time, starting with a small self-ran blog called Lucy Goes to Hollywood before moving onto bigger websites such as What’s on TV and What to Watch, with TechRadar being her most recent venture. Her interests primarily lie within horror and thriller, loving nothing more than a chilling story that keeps her thinking moments after the credits have rolled. Many of these creepy tales can be found on the streaming services she covers regularly.

When she’s not scaring herself half to death with the various shows and movies she watches, she likes to unwind by playing video games on Easy Mode and has no shame in admitting she’s terrible at them. She also quotes The Simpsons religiously and has a Blinky the Fish tattoo, solidifying her position as a complete nerd.
