There aren’t a lot of new thrillers headed to Netflix this month, but the ones that do begin streaming during February are fabulous. Here are three of the best thrillers streaming on Netflix beginning in February 2025.
Parasite (2019)
For viewers who enjoy: socially relevant thrillers, South Korean films, Academy Award winners
Parasite is one of the greatest films of the modern era. It’s about a family of four, the Kims, who struggle with low-income jobs. One by one, they each say whatever they need to say in order to get jobs working for the Parks, a family with lots of money and a trusting (i.e. gullible) nature. Parasite is social thriller first, but it also incorporates elements of a darker nature as the Kims learn more about the Parks and their household.
Don’t Let Go (2019)
For viewers who enjoy: time manipulation, crime thrillers, soft sci-fi
Don’t Let Go blends together a crime thriller, a family drama, and a science fiction film to create an exhilarating movie that works surprisingly well. Jack is a police detective whose niece Ashley is killed in a horrific act of violence. Soon, Jack gets a call… from Ashley. He realizes he’s talking to his niece in the past, and he attempts to use their bizarre phone connection to prevent her death and solve the crime before it happens. Or happened, depending on whose point of view you’re looking from.
Watcher (2022)
For viewers who enjoy: stalker movies, incredibly tense thrillers, films about serial killers
Watcher was one of the very best thrillers of 2022. It’s so good thanks to a multi-layered performance from scream queen Maika Monroe, and because of the smart and effective direction from Chloe Okuno. The story is about Julia, a woman who moves to Bucharest with her husband. She ends up spending most of her time alone, and she has the feeling she’s being watched by a man in an apartment across from hers. That, combined with the knowledge that a serial killer is active in her area, leads Julia down a dark path of paranoia and ever-present terror.
