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.

Here are my top thriller picks to get your heart pounding this week.

Searching

SEARCHING - Official Trailer (HD) - YouTube

Watch On

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

The Grey Official Trailer #2 - Liam Neeson Movie (2012) HD - YouTube
