Thrilling Movies to Watch in February

Snuggle in for some gripping movies this February.

From mind-bending horror to award-winning thrillers to poignant dramas, Peacock has films to make this February completely engaging.

In the mood for an award-winning thriller? | Conclave

The world waits as the College of Cardinals gathers to elect a new pope in Edward Berger’s riveting drama Conclave. Cardinal Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes) must guide the church through backroom conspiracies and dark secrets to find the right man to lead the world’s billion Catholics. With a supporting cast that includes John Lithgow, Stanley Tucci, and Isabella Rossellini, the movie provides an extraordinary look into a world of global power few have witnessed. Nominated for eight Academy Award®, Conclave “is smart, provocative, sometimes funny, and determined to make us rethink our initial impressions…one of the year’s standout films,” writes RogerEbert.com.

In the mood for a spooky time-traveling adventure? | Last Night in Soho

Edgar Wright takes horror to new and spooky heights in Last Night in Soho. Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie) is a contemporary young fashion student who falls into the past when she finds herself mysteriously witnessing events from the 1960s. Psychically connecting with an aspiring singer from that time, Sandie (Anya Taylor-Joy), Eloise relives the joys and then nightmares of the Swinging Sixties as Soho’s seamy side rises to the surface. The Hollywood Reporter writes, “Last Night in Soho is an immensely pleasurable film that delights in playing with genre, morphing from time-travel fantasy to dark fairy tale, from mystery to nightmarish horror in a climax that owes as much to ’60s Brit fright fare as to more contemporary mind-benders.”

In the mood for a coming-of-age story for a new generation? | Boogie

In Boogie, Eddie Huang borrows from his own experience as a child of immigrants to create a modern coming-of-age story. Alfred “Boogie” Chin (Taylor Takahashi) is a high school student caught between two worlds—the traditional family of his Taiwanese parents and the multicultural community of his hometown, Queens, New York. Boogie, who dreams of playing for the NBA, must decide which world he wants to live in. Huang tells The New York Times how he faced similar questions as a kid: “My parents do things this way, my culture does things this way, but what choices would I make?” Huang captures, with refreshing clarity, Boogie’s world. “Boogie is genuine while weaving Black, Hispanic, Asian, and white teenage New Yorkers together with effortless ease,” The Wrap writes.

In the mood for a timely horror movie? | Come Play

In Come Play, Jacob Chase takes our fear of monsters who lurk in the shadows into the digital age. When Oliver (Azhy Robertson), a child with autism, downloads an app called “Misunderstood Monsters,” he hopes that he has finally found a friend. He and his mother (Gillian Jacobs) discover just how terrifying the need for friendship can be. Chase tells Sci-Fi Now how he explored the “thematic tie between the loneliness that we feel anytime and the loneliness we can also feel when we’re using our devices.” In doing so, he makes old monsters new again. For Daily Journal, “Come Play is a smart horror film…making a few pointed jabs at our social dependency on electronics and the dangers within.” The AV Club writes, “As a horror movie…it’s often diabolical fun: a PG-13 funhouse ride of peekaboo jolts.”

In the mood for a powerful story of redemption? | Land

Robin Wright directs and stars in Land, an inspiring story about a woman named Edee (Wright) who recovers from an unfathomably traumatic event by retreating to the isolation and beauty of the Rocky Mountains. As a director, Wright told Oprah Daily, “I wanted to make a film about kindness and human resilience.” Shot in surroundings where, Film Stage writes, every fifth shot “will take your breath away,” the story keeps the human drama in close up as “Wright the filmmaker wrings out one of Wright the actor’s career-best performances.”
