How about The Green Room? It didn't even register as a horror movie until it was too late.
It sounds like you might be more interested in thrillers, which focus more on the psychological and “scary“ aspects, whereas horror films tend to include more visuals and gore.
You should check out the film Get Out
Yea I have watched Get Out, it's a great movie.
Alright. I got you now. Pretty sure I know what you're looking for:
Shutter Island (2010)
10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) (you don't have to have seen Cloverfield at all)
Coherence (2013) (a personal favorite of mine)
The Shining (1980)
Hereditary (2018)
Weapons (2025)
Late Night with the Devil (2023) (if you liked The Exorcist, you'll love this one)
I think any of these will be right up your alley. Minimal/no gore. Rely more on suspense/mystery than cheap jump scares. Each will give you lots of goosebumps.
If you can handle some gore in favor of compelling story/setting, I'd also add to the list:
The Thing (1982)
Event Horizon (1997)
Green Room is definitely gory. It's not over the top, but they don't shy away from what weapons do to human bodies.
