February was a huge month for streaming, and the last week of the month sees a few more additions to this list of the best movies to stream on Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Max (HBO), and other services.

Here (2024)

56%Nick Frost wrote and stars in this IFC Films horror comedy. Frost plays Richard, the patriarch of a conventional family enjoying a remote island getaway. When they discover they’re sharing the island with a serial killer, the stakes quickly ratchet up.
