We've done it: We've finally reached the holiday season. After a tumultuous year, it's time to kick back, relax and decompress with some movies. If your idea of decompressing is with a pulse-pounding thriller, we've got your back. And while there are tons of those to be found across several streaming services, Peacock is an especially good location for finding some lesser-known thrillers that'll keep you hanging on every word.
There are tons of movies to be taken in on "Peacock," from well-known blockbusters that keep you guessing to lesser-known gems that you'll soon add to your must-watch rotation list. But how do you figure out which movies to watch first during your holiday binge?
You come to us, of course. We've taken it upon ourselves to assemble three lesser-known thrillers on Peacock that you probably haven't watched, from a new classic featuring Willem Dafoe to a quirky thriller that crosses over into horror.
'Inside'
Nemo (Willem Dafoe) is an art thief who’s used to appearing in and disappearing out of other people’s lives. A job in a Manhattan penthouse goes bad when the unit's smart security system locks him inside and cuts him off from the outside world. The climate control breaks, the food runs out and he’s left alone with nothing but some weird modern art, a broken sprinkler system, and himself.
It's up to him to figure out how to outsmart the security system, scrounge up enough things to survive without being able to leave, and keep himself from going insane. Easier said than done, and it might sound silly until you find yourself trapped in a luxury building, too.

'10 x 10'
Lewis (Luke Evans) is just your average suburban guy ... that is, until he pulls a gun on a flower shop owner (Kelly Reilly) in a parking lot and throws her in his trunk. He takes her back to his house in the middle of nowhere and locks her in a soundproof 10-by-10-foot cell he’s built himself. Then he calmly starts asking the same question over and over: “What’s your name?”
The woman insists she’s Cathy, a small business owner who has no idea why this is happening, and spends just as much time fighting him as she does begging for help that no one can hear. But as it turns out, it's far more complicated than that as we uncover "Cathy's" true nature and why Lewis came to get her after all.

'Borderline'
Sofia Minor (Samara Weaving) is a ’90s pop star whose life is already a security risk before things really go off the rails. Paul Duerson (Ray Nicholson) is a lovesick stalker who escapes a mental institution convinced he and Sofia are destined to get married.
He crashes her mansion with backup in the form of a fellow escapee and turns Sofia’s home into a prison as he tries to convince Sofia to marry him, kidnapping a menagerie of victims while he ultimately hopes to seduce the headstrong but shaken star.
