By Jason Struss Updated February 24, 2023

This year started off with a bang thanks to a killer robot doll with crazy TikTok dance moves. That’s right, M3GAN won the hearts of audiences and critics alike thanks to its well-crafted scares and sly humor. Horror is one of the few genres that appeal to a fractured moviegoing audience right now, and M3GAN succeeded in bringing people to multiplexes still running Avatar: The Way of Water and Oscar hopefuls like Women Talking.

After a successful theatrical run, M3GAN is coming to a familiar streaming service: Peacock. Launched in 2020, Peacock is the home to NBC Universal and Comcast properties such as Universal Pictures, the Olympics, Bravo, and Saturday Night Live.

Peacock is the streaming home to popular NBC shows like The Office, This Is Us, Law & Order, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. The service boasts many sports programs from the WWE, NFL, and Premier League as well. Peacock has also expanded its scripted and non-scripted original programming, including shows like Vampire Academy, Dr. Death, and a documentary about Casey Anthony. In addition, it’s home to blockbuster movies like Nope and modern rom-coms like Ticket to Paradise.

How much does it cost?

There is no fee to sign up for the most basic level of Peacock, and there is no credit card required upon signing up. All that’s needed is an email address for users to access 10,000-plus hours of content for free. The free tier is very limiting in terms of content. If you would like to access more programs from Peacock, there are various paid tiers to explore.

Peacock Premium is the first paid tier on the streaming service, with access to over 80,000-plus hours of entertainment for a monthly price of $5, or $50 per year. This tier contains ads, but allows users to access new films and live events. If this tier is too restricting, users can upgrade to Peacock Premium Plus, which costs $10 per month, or $100 per year. Premium Plus includes everything from Premium, but contains no ads and allows users to download and watch programs offline.

Where can I watch the unrated cut of M3GAN?

The same place as the theatrical cut. Peacock will have both versions available to stream. The unrated cut reportedly is bloodier and scarier.

Is M3GAN worth watching?

M3GAN - official trailer

Yes. M3GAN is one of the rare movies that actually lives up to the prerelease hype. It’s scary, but not too scary, and funny, but not too funny.

Where to watch Scream 6

Sam and Tara stand on the street together in Scream 6.

Last year, the Scream franchise was awakened from its 11-year slumber with Scream, a reboot/sequel hybrid that saw the original three stars, -- Neve Campbell, David Arquette, and Courtney Cox -- return to help a new generation of teens from being sliced and diced by a new Ghostface. The movie was a surprise hit (Scream 4 had been a dud) and since franchises never die, a sequel was quickly commissioned with most of the reboot cast returning (Campbell declined due to an insulting monetary offer, while Arquette isn't returning due to his character, Dewey, meeting an unfortunate end in the last one).

Released at the beginning of March, Scream 6 quickly proved to be a hit with critics and audiences alike, becoming the most successful Scream movie since the original all the way back in 1996. Now wrapping up its successful theatrical run, the sequel is set to hit streaming very soon. Where is it streaming? And when? Digital Trends has all the answers for you.

Where to watch Knock at the Cabin

Abby Quinn, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Dave Bautista, and Ruprt Grint stand grimly inside a cabin, staring at the camera.

There are few directors better at making movies that get under your skin than M. Night Shyamalan. Ever since The Sixth Sense in 1999, the prolific director has largely stayed in the horror genre, crafting tales of alien invaders (Signs), creepy family members (The Visit), and a reverse fountain of youth (Old).

With 2023's Knock at the Cabin, Shyamalan puts his unique spin on the apocalyptic horror subgenre. When four strangers arrive at a family's cabin and demand that one of them must kill another family member to prevent the apocalypse from occurring, questions about faith, religion, and brotherhood are asked and uneasily answered.

Where to watch every Scream movie

Four kids put their hands in from a scene from Scream VI.

What's your favorite scary movie? 27 years ago, that question was posed to Casey Becker (Fever Pitch's Drew Barrymore) by a masked killer named Ghostface in the opening scene of Scream. It - spoiler alert - did not end well for Casey. However, the course of slashers changed with the release of Scream. The film brilliantly satirized horror clichés and featured characters who openly spoke about real horror movies. But at the end of the day, Scream was still a slasher that did not shy away from blood, gore, or violence.

The Scream franchise is now amid a resurgence thanks to Scream, the fifth film in the series. The 2022 film helped relaunch the franchise and introduced Ghostface to a new generation of horror fans. Scream grossed over $140 million worldwide, spawning a direct sequel, Scream VI, which hits theaters on March 10.
