Springtime is usually the time for bright rom-coms like You, Me & Tuscany<\/em> and kids flicks like The Super Mario Galaxy Movie<\/em>, but what\u2019s stopping you from enjoying a good thriller?<\/p>\n

The answer: nothing. Peacock has a slew of them, and Watch With Us has curated a list of the streamer\u2019s best selections.<\/p>\n

Sea of Love<\/em> is a great \u201880s erotic thriller with a peak Al Pacino<\/strong> performance, while Red Eye<\/em> features Oscar winner Cillian Murphy<\/strong> playing the passenger from hell terrorizing poor Rachel McAdams<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Below is the full list of the best Peacock thrillers streaming in April.\n<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a serial killer on the loose in New York City, but all Detective Frank Keller (Al Pacino<\/strong>) cares about is when he can kick back his next drink. A functioning alcoholic, Frank is talented and sober enough to still investigate the murders of single men who all shared two things in common: they answered lonely hearts ads in the newspaper and had contact with Helen (Ellen Barkin<\/strong>). Beautiful and mysterious, Frank can\u2019t help but fall in love with Helen, but will his illicit affair be his undoing?<\/p>\n

Sea of Love<\/em> seems like a parody of itself. Destructive cop protagonist with a suicidal streak? Check. Alluring femme fatale with a shady past who romances the hero? Check. The killer even has a weird modus operandi involving bondage and the 1959 pop hit \u201cSea of Love\u201d that Hannibal Lecter would appreciate. But it all works because of Pacino and Barkin, who share real chemistry as a damaged couple drawn together by their mutual traumas. Two wrongs usually don\u2019t make a right, but Frank and Helen prove to be the exception to that rule.<\/p>\n

Sea of Love<\/em> is streaming on Peacock.<\/p>\n

\u2018Red Eye\u2019 (2005)<\/h2>\n

Travelling by plane is a headache these days, but it\u2019s nothing compared to what Lisa Reisert (Rachel McAdams<\/strong>) experiences in the sneaky 2005 thriller Red Eye<\/em>. On her red-eye flight to see her dad, Joe (Brian Cox<\/strong>), in Miami, she gradually suspects her handsome fellow passenger, Jackson Rippner (Cillian Murphy<\/strong>), is interested in her.<\/p>\n

Lisa\u2019s right, but for all the wrong reasons, as Jackson reveals he belongs to a domestic terrorist organization that wants to use her to assassinate a political figure. If Lisa doesn\u2019t cooperate, Jackson\u2019s buddies will kill her dad. To make matters worse, the plane ran out of free peanuts.<\/p>\n

Directed by horror maestro Wes Craven<\/strong>, the movie makes the most of its intriguing, Hitchcockian premise. McAdams is terrific as a heroine who must make impossible choices, while Murphy makes the most of his icy-blue gaze to make a villain worth rooting against. Red Eye<\/em> is a suspense film so tense, you might just travel by train afterwards.<\/p>\n

Red Eye<\/em> is streaming on Peacock.<\/p>\n

Do aliens walk among us? That\u2019s what Teddy Gantz (Jesse Plemons<\/strong>) and his cousin, Don (Aidan Delbis<\/strong>), want to know. They believe Michelle Fuller (Emma Stone<\/strong>), a powerful pharmaceutical CEO, is part of an alien race that\u2019s secretly enslaving humanity. Determined not to let that happen, Teddy and Don kidnap Michelle, shave her head and hold her prisoner in their house to interrogate her. But it quickly becomes apparent that Teddy isn\u2019t so pure of heart, and Michelle isn\u2019t as helpless as she appears to be.<\/p>\n

Nominate for several Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actress, Yorgos Lanthimos<\/strong>\u2018 Bugonia<\/em> is an odd blend of thriller and sci-fi with some inspired bits of comedy here and there. A remake of the obscure 2003 Korean film Save the Green Planet!<\/em>, Bugonia<\/em> is an entertaining ride that contains one of the most shocking endings of 2025. Stone and Plemons are superb, and the movie casts a strange, unsettling spell over you that\u2019s tough to shake off.<\/p>\n
