Loved 'Obsession'? 3 Under-the-Radar Horror Movies to Stream on Peacock

If you are among the millions of viewers captivated by the supernatural intensity of 'Obsession,' you are likely looking for your next dose of suspense. After the film shattered box office records and became a massive hit for Focus Features, it has officially arrived on Peacock, inviting a new wave of fans to experience its chilling narrative. If the psychological tension and unsettling atmosphere of 'Obsession' left you wanting more, we have curated a list of three under-the-radar horror gems available on Peacock that hit those same dark, gripping notes.

1. Hush (2016)

Directed by Mike Flanagan—the visionary behind 'The Haunting of Hill House' and 'Midnight Mass'—'Hush' is a masterclass in minimalism. The film follows Maddie, a deaf and mute writer living in a remote house in the woods. When a masked killer appears at her window, the premise shifts into a terrifying game of cat and mouse where sound, or the lack thereof, becomes the central mechanic of survival. It is a lean, relentless slasher that proves you don't need excessive gore to create a truly suffocating atmosphere.

2. Sick (2022)

Directed by John Hyams and co-written by the legendary 'Scream' creator Kevin Williamson, 'Sick' offers a modern spin on the home-invasion subgenre. Set during the early isolation days of the COVID-19 pandemic, the film centers on two college friends who retreat to a secluded lake house. When they begin receiving ominous, threatening text messages, their quiet quarantine turns into a desperate struggle for survival. It brilliantly taps into the paranoia of the era while delivering a sharp, fast-paced narrative.

3. 1BR (2019)

If the psychological aspect of 'Obsession' is what caught your attention, '1BR' is an essential watch. The story follows a young woman who moves to Los Angeles to pursue a fresh start and secures an apartment that seems almost too good to be true. As she settles in, she realizes the community hides dark, sinister secrets. This film explores themes of cult-like manipulation and the nightmare of losing one's agency, making it a deeply uncomfortable and rewarding experience for fans of psychological horror.

Whether you're in the mood for a classic cat-and-mouse slasher or a slow-burn psychological thriller, these three films ensure your next movie night on Peacock will be just as tense as your last.
