Where to Watch Obsession (2026): Blumhouse Horror Streaming Guide

Obsession is having its second wind. The $750,000 Blumhouse horror crossed $44 million worldwide in theaters · we covered the full box office story · and now it has landed on streaming. Search volume for "where to watch obsession" and "obsession movie" is back up. Here is the practical guide for everyone trying to catch it now.

Where to watch Obsession in the US

Obsession is a Blumhouse production · which by 2026 means it lives on Peacock in the US under the Blumhouse-NBCUniversal output deal. Premium tier required for the on-demand version; the ad-supported tier carries it with breaks.

If you missed the theatrical window, Peacock is the only US streaming-subscription home for the film right now. The Apple TV / Prime Video rental option exists if you want to skip a Peacock subscription · roughly the standard new-release rental price.

Where to watch in India

In India, the same NBCUniversal-Blumhouse output deal places Obsession on JioHotstar. The Super and Premium tiers should both carry it. The basic tier sometimes excludes Peacock-imported titles · check the title's individual availability badge in the JioHotstar app.

For households outside the US and India, the rights situation varies · the film has landed on Sky in the UK, on the local Peacock partner in Germany and Austria, and on a mix of regional partners elsewhere. Check the per-show streaming availability via our show page for live, region-specific data.

Spoiler-free plot overview

Obsession follows a 20-something accountant whose ordinary life unravels after she becomes the focus of an anonymous stalker. The hook is structural rather than gory · the film holds you in the protagonist's perspective so completely that the audience experiences her growing certainty (and doubt) at the same time she does. The third act earns its reputation; this is not a film built around set-piece scares but around accumulated psychological pressure.

Runtime is a tight 92 minutes. The Blumhouse 90-minute-thriller template at its most disciplined.

Cast and director

The film stars a largely unknown lead cast · part of the Blumhouse low-budget pattern, which keeps salaries down and lets the studio greenlight more swings. The director's previous work (a 2023 SXSW indie) led to the Blumhouse pickup. No major box-office stars appear; the film succeeds on tone and screenplay craft.

Why everyone is talking about it

The $750K-to-$44M ratio is the story. Blumhouse has had bigger absolute hits (M3GAN, Get Out, The Black Phone) but Obsession's return-on-investment is rarely matched at this scale outside the Paranormal Activity 2008 wave. The full breakdown is in our box office story piece · short version: tight script, contained locations, no name talent, viral word-of-mouth out of TIFF.

The film also re-energized the conversation about indie horror's commercial ceiling in the streaming era. If a $750K movie can do $44M theatrical, the model works.

Is there a sequel?

Blumhouse has not officially announced an Obsession 2 as of the streaming-release date. The studio's pattern with breakout originals is to wait for streaming numbers before greenlighting a sequel · the M3GAN sequel was greenlit within weeks of the streaming bump, and Obsession could follow the same playbook. Reasonable bet: sequel announcement within the next 3 to 6 months if Peacock numbers hold.

The director and lead cast have been publicly noncommittal in press · Blumhouse contracts often include sequel options that get exercised only when the studio decides to move. Watch the trades over the next quarter.

If you liked Obsession

The natural follow-ups in the indie-horror-thriller bracket on streaming:

• The Invitation (2015, Netflix) · slow-burn paranoid thriller with the same disciplined construction
• It Follows (2014, Max) · the standard-bearer of the 2010s indie horror wave
• Speak No Evil (the 2022 Danish original or the 2024 US remake) · tension through social discomfort
• Hereditary (Max) · A24's flagship horror, much heavier register
• Smile (Paramount+) · adjacent contemporary horror with strong tonal control

Frequently asked questions

How long is Obsession?

92 minutes. Classic Blumhouse 90-minute-thriller pacing.

Is Obsession scary?

Scary in the psychological sense rather than the jump-scare sense. The film builds dread through the protagonist's narrowing reality. If you bounced off Hereditary for being "too much", Obsession is more controlled · the discomfort is sustained rather than overwhelming.

Is Obsession on Netflix?

No · Obsession is on Peacock in the US (Blumhouse output deal). Not on Netflix US, not on Max, not on Hulu. Internationally the rights vary.

Is there a post-credit scene?

Not in the conventional sequel-tease sense. The film ends in a way that closes the central arc; whether a sequel happens depends on Blumhouse's read on the streaming numbers, not on a planted hook.

Is Obsession based on a true story?

No. Obsession is original screenplay material from the director-screenwriter. The story is not adapted from a true-crime case or a novel.
