The Best Modern Horror Movies on Peacock Right Now

Availability last updated October 12, 2026. Streaming libraries change monthly, so this list gets updated regularly.

In the mood for something other than horror? Here are the best movies on Peacock right now, all hand-picked from my reviews.

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.

GET OUT (2017)

Being black in America got even more scary in Jordan Peele’s genius socio-horror film, which mixes modern slavery with racist yuppies and impales it all on trophy antlers.▶ Watch on Peacock · See it in my Top Ten of 2017

OBSESSION (2025)

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

IT FOLLOWS (2014)

A demonic STD will not stop hunting Maika Monroe in this deliriously made, minimalist horror-thriller. David Robert Mitchell’s filmmaking is an intellectual puzzle that only gets more bewildering (and better) upon rewatches.▶ Watch on Peacock · See it in my Top Ten of 2014

WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN (2011)

Combatively bleak character study questions the origins of a school shooter, a topic that’s only become more pertinent with time. Tilda Swinton is haunting.▶ Watch on Peacock

10 CLOVERFIELD LANE (2016)

An unexpected sequel that launched a mini-verse, 10 Cloverfield Lane isn’t necessarily better for its connection to the previous Cloverfield entry but succeeds by virtue of brutally tense filmmaking and great performances from Mary Elizabeth Winstead and John Goodman.▶ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

THE INVITATION (2015)

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. 32. YOU’RE NEXT (2011) Sharni Vinson’s Erin is among the most badass final girls of the decade in this bloody home invasion thriller made for people who would enjoy Home Alone with more actual murder.▶ Watch on Peacock

COHERENCE (2013)

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.▶ Watch on Peacock

HUSH (2016)

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

LAST NIGHT IN SOHO (2021)

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)

Art returns for a final girl with a sword and a two-and-a-half hour runtime. One kill horrifying enough to justify the passing-out-and-vomiting headlines.▶ Watch on Peacock

HALLOWEEN (2018)

Michael Myers stabs his back into relevancy in this perfected slasher that matches quality kills with sharp technical mastery and an age-old show-down. Proves that OG franchises have life in them yet if you just know how to squeeze.▶ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

SYNCHRONIC (2020)

A New Orleans paramedic with a terminal diagnosis works a run of impossible deaths caused by a designer drug that unsticks you in time.▶ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

FRIGHT NIGHT (2011)

A sexy vampire next door (Colin Farrell in rare cheeseball form) wants to take a bite out of the suspicious neighbor in this tongue-in-cheek remake of the 1985 cult classic.▶ Watch on Peacock

TRAGEDY GIRLS (2017)

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.▶ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

LISA FRANKENSTEIN (2024)

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.▶ Watch on Peacock

THE LOVE WITCH (2016)

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.▶ Watch on Peacock

BETTER WATCH OUT (2016)

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?▶ Watch on Peacock

WOLF MAN (2025)

A father drives his family to his own childhood farmhouse in Oregon and gets bitten on the way in, then transforms across one night while they watch. Whannell is the modern maestro of Universal Monsters. Reinforced my desire to never get rabies.▶ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

THE ENDLESS (2017)

You might get caught in a time-loop if you visit the wrong UFO death cult in this low-budget, high-concept vortex from Aaron Moorehead and Justin Benson.▶ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

THE PRODIGY (2019)

This mainstream R-rated release was much better than it should have been – and that it got credit for. With some of the best jump scares of recent memory, this twisted story about a child who might just be a reincarnated serial killer was dismissed as cliché but proved thoroughly scary throughout.▶ Watch on Peacock

THE VOICES (2014)

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.▶ Watch on Peacock

THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER (2023)

Dracula eats his way through a cargo ship’s crew across four weeks at sea in this creeper from André Øvredal.▶ Watch on Peacock
