Not in the mood for horror? The best movies on Peacock right now →

Peacock’s horror lineup leans hard on Universal and Blumhouse, which means plenty of sequels, but there’s a lot worth your time if you know where to look. These are the best modern horror movies on Peacock right now, all released from 2010 on and pulled straight from my rankings of the best horror movies of the 2020s and the best horror movies of the 2010s. You’ll find favorites like Get Out, Obsession and It Follows, plus a handful of deeper cuts worth adding to your watchlist. Every pick is streaming in the U.S. right now, and I’ll keep the list updated as titles come and go. For the latest releases, see my roundup of new horror movies.

OBSESSION (2025)

🍅93%Critics🍿94%Audience⭐7.8IMDb

A nice guy wishes his way out of the friend zone and gets a girlfriend who cannot be talked out of loving him. Curry Barker proves himself a genre craftsman with a wicked sense of humor, a mean visual streak, and an unnerving command of tone. Actually scary and actually funny.▶︎ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN (2011)

🍅74%Critics🍿78%Audience⭐7.4IMDb

Tilda Swinton plays a mother reckoning with her son’s horrific act and the years of warning signs that led to it. Lynne Ramsay’s fractured, blood-red drama is psychological horror in its purest form, and Ezra Miller is chilling as Kevin.▶︎ Watch on Peacock

THE INVITATION (2015)

🍅90%Critics🍿69%Audience⭐6.6IMDb

Ignorance certainly isn’t bliss when a man attends a dinner party at his ex’s (and her new lover’s) house. Something is off, or so he believes. Karyn Kusama dials the tension up, up, and away. Karyn Kusama’s slow-burn dinner party is a masterclass in creeping paranoia, and its final shot is chilling.▶︎ Watch on Peacock

COHERENCE (2013)

🍅89%Critics🍿81%Audience⭐7.1IMDb

Stretching a heady sci-fi concept to razor-wire tautness, this eerie mindfuck also turned a nothing budget into a hazy intellectual exercise in minimalism and paranoia. Trust no-one, stay inside. Shot on a shoestring over a few nights with a largely improvised script, James Ward Byrkit’s dinner-party puzzle box rewards a second viewing.▶︎ Watch on Peacock

HUSH (2016)

🍅92%Critics🍿73%Audience⭐6.6IMDb

The “She’s deaf” equivalent of A Quiet Place and Don’t Breathe, this unsettling invasion thriller (also from Flanagan) boils down the essential ingredients of a horror movie and delivers them in ideally measured fashion.▶︎ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review · Mike Flanagan Movies and Shows, Ranked

TUCKER AND DALE VS. EVIL (2010)

🍅86%Critics🍿85%Audience⭐7.5IMDb

Hillbilly horror-comedy follows two misunderstood softies trying to relax for the weekend but come up against pretentious college tools who assume the worst. Bloody mishaps ensue.▶︎ Watch on Peacock

LAST NIGHT IN SOHO (2021)

🍅75%Critics🍿89%Audience⭐7.0IMDb

A fashion student starts sleeping her way into 1965 Soho and watching a singer get destroyed by it. Style to spare, the costumes, the sets, the music, all in service of a fairly straightforward murder mystery. But with time travel. Kind of.▶︎ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

TERRIFIER 2 (2022)

🍅88%Critics🍿81%Audience⭐6.0IMDb

Art the Clown is back, and his set pieces are longer, nastier, and more gleefully excessive than before. Damien Leone’s splatter epic is not for the faint of stomach, but for gorehounds it is an absolute event. David Howard Thornton’s silent, slapstick Art is the franchise’s secret weapon.▶︎ Watch on Peacock

SYNCHRONIC (2020)

🍅79%Critics🍿76%Audience⭐6.2IMDb

Two New Orleans paramedics trace a string of bizarre deaths to a designer drug that sends users back in time. Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead turn a time-travel premise into a moving buddy drama, with Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan both doing excellent work.▶︎ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

TRAGEDY GIRLS (2017)

🍅85%Critics🍿61%Audience⭐6.0IMDb

A pair of social media-obsessed girls plot to up their status by murdering their peers in this delightfully sarcastic social satire that’s totally in it for the likes. Brianna Hildebrand and Alexandra Shipp play homicidal teens chasing social media fame in a gory, wickedly funny slasher satire.▶︎ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

HONEYMOON (2014)

🍅77%Critics🍿44%Audience⭐5.7IMDb

Marital bliss is short-lived as a couple find their stay at a cabin on a lake interrupted by either madness or a malevolent slug. Or both.▶︎ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

LISA FRANKENSTEIN (2024)

🤢52%Critics🍿82%Audience⭐6.1IMDb

A grieving 1989 teen reanimates a Victorian corpse and starts fetching him missing body parts from the people who wronged her. Mostly charming, even as Diablo Cody cribs from a familiar deck. Diablo Cody’s script and Kathryn Newton’s live-wire performance make this ’80s-set horror romance a goofy, gory valentine.▶︎ Watch on Peacock

THE LOVE WITCH (2016)

🍅95%Critics🍿61%Audience⭐6.2IMDb

Elaine makes potions in her bedroom to make men fall in love with her in this sultry, Technicolor throwback. The rub: those men have a nasty habit of dying once they do. Anna Biller wrote, directed, designed, and scored this Technicolor pastiche of ’60s melodrama, and Samantha Robinson’s witch is a seductive, deadly delight.▶︎ Watch on Peacock

BETTER WATCH OUT (2016)

🍅89%Critics🍿63%Audience⭐6.5IMDb

Santa will be adding some new names to the naughty list in this expectation-subverting Christmas bloodbath that coins the kill term “Home Alone-ing.” You’re curious now, aren’t you? Levi Miller and Olivia DeJonge anchor a Christmas home-invasion movie with a twist so nasty it rewires everything before it.▶︎ Watch on Peacock

THE ENDLESS (2017)

🍅91%Critics🍿67%Audience⭐6.5IMDb

Moorhead and Benson’s The Endless is a riveting trip down the rabbit hole, fastened with a smarter-than-average and genuinely thrilling script and impossible to predict plotting. Suffers in the acting and special effects department but remains a strong recommendation for sci-fi fans looking for some original flavor.▶︎ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

COBWEB (2023)

🤢58%Critics🍿71%Audience⭐5.9IMDb

A boy hears tapping inside his bedroom wall and his parents insist there’s nothing there. Spoiler alert: there is.▶︎ Watch on Peacock

THE VOICES (2014)

🍅74%Critics🍿58%Audience⭐6.3IMDb

Before Ryan Reynolds was Deadpool, he was taking advice from his cat and dog, the former telling him to murder people, the later urging otherwise, in this zany send-up that ranks among his weirder acting choices. Ryan Reynolds plays a cheerful factory worker whose talking pets urge him toward murder in Marjane Satrapi’s colorful, deranged black comedy.▶︎ Watch on Peacock

THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER (2023)

🤢50%Critics🍿73%Audience⭐6.1IMDb

Dracula stows away on the ship carrying his coffin to England, and the crew is picked off one night at a time. André Øvredal adapts a single chapter of Bram Stoker’s novel into an old-fashioned, atmospheric creature feature with a genuinely savage Count.▶︎ Watch on Peacock

OLD (2021)

🤢50%Critics🍿53%Audience⭐5.8IMDb

A secluded beach ages everyone on it a year every half hour, so a family lives and dies across one afternoon. Like many late stage M. Night Shamalayan movies, some stuff is great while others aspects are baffling.▶︎ Watch on Peacock

SICK (2022)

🍅86%Critics🍿71%Audience⭐6.0IMDb

Kevin Williamson writes a slasher set in April 2020, where the masks and isolation is mandated. And then a killer enters the equation.▶︎ Watch on Peacock
