"Obsession," the supernatural horror phenomenon starring breakout Inde Navarrette, racked up over $400 million at the box office, making it the highest-grossing movie Focus Features has ever released. Now that it's landed on Peacock this week, you can check out whether it lives up to the hype.
If you've already watched "Obsession" and are on the hunt for more horror movies to sink your teeth into this weekend, you're in luck. There are plenty of other great nightmare fuel picks on Peacock, and we've already done the digging for you so you can skip the scrolling and get to streaming.
If you're looking for your next dose of suspense, these three Peacock movies all explore the darker side of obsession in much the same vein as "Obsession." So without further ado, here are our our picks for movies like "Obsession" that you can watch next on Peacock below.
'Hush' (2016)
"Hush" is another example of a simple premise executed well, a slasher movie where the main victim is deaf and mute, leaving her unable to hear her attacker approaching or call for help. Directed by Mike Flanagan of "The Haunting of Hill House" and "Midnight Mass" fame, “Hush” is a lean, tightly wound horror movie that wrings a surprising amount of tension from its simple premise.
The isolated setting of a house in the remote woods also adds to the atmosphere of constant unease, like you're being watched. And while Maddie ( (Kate Siegel) is relentlessly stalked and tormented by a masked killer, she's never reduced to a helpless victim, which makes this one of the more empowering genre entries.

'Sick' (2022)
"Sick" (2022) is a fast-paced slasher horror film directed by John Hyams and co-written by "Scream" creator Kevin Williamson that's set during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. When college friends Parker (Gideon Adlon) and Miri (Bethlehem Million) decide to quarantine together at Parker's family's secluded lake house, their peaceful getaway is interrupted when they begin receiving mysterious threatening text messages.
Soon, they realize a mask killer is stalking their every move, turning the night into a brutal fight for survival. This classic home-invasion slasher set-up gradually gives way to a distinctly modern twist that's hard to get into without spoiling what makes this movie so great. Suffice it to say, we all went a little crazy in early days of the pandemic — some of us more so than others.

'1BR' (2019)
A ruthless indie psychological drama ,"1BR" follows Sarah (Nicole Brydon Bloom), a young woman who moves to Los Angeles to start over and pursue a career in costume design. She lands an apartment that seems almost too good to be true, but after settling in, she begins hearing unsettling noises at night, getting threatening messages, and noticing all the little ways something is deeply wrong with the community.
It's hard to say much more without giving away the twists. It turns out Sarah got much more than she bargained before when she moved in, and her neighbors are all too happy to make life hell for anyone who doesn't fit in.
