I am a longtime horror fan who's searching for a good horror movies to watch. A movie like The Exorcist that actually made me feel scared. Something that's inherently scary, and not because of jump scares. I have watched many popular horror movies and movie series like the Anabelle, The Insidious (my favourite), The Conjuring (another favourite), The Babadook and more. I am looking for movies set in 90s, 70s or earlier, that is not talked about much.

It's going to sound crazy but after reading your comment about not wanting gore, the perfect movie might be the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original.) It's just super creepy throughout but with impressively little gore etc.

Last Night in Soho is a mishmash of films but gorgeously shot with a sense of style, in some ways a love/hate letter to London in the 60s.

And finally, a weird one that I really dug, It Ends. It's not at all like anything else. I saw it called a hang out horror which is as good a description as any.

Haha. I do not believe you. Texas Chainsaw Massacre surely has a lot of gore. Last Night in Soho look visually appealing l might watch it someday.

Despite its odd reputation as being extremely violent, the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is almost bereft of blood and gore, and here's why.

You could have literally just searched Texas Chainsaw Massacre gore.

This is exactly the type of movie you seem to be describing; it is literally one of the best horror movies ever made while simultaneously almost without gore and viscera.

The goriest thing about that movie is that ending shot with the spinning. I get motion sick just thinking about it.
