Creepy but not gorey films

If I liked the films The Sixth Sense and the Woman in Black and the book The Turn of the Screw, what other films would I like? I thought the Exorcist and Skeleton Key were alright too but I found the gore element of House of Wax yawntastic. I'm not squeamish so it doesn't really do anything for me in films or books and I can take it or leave it. Usually leave it because I feel like if there is gore then that's the main focus and there isn't much else going on. Not watched any horror in ages but have the urge.

The original 1963 version of "The Haunting" is genuinely atmospheric and frightening. I haven't watched it for years, but just thinking about a couple of the scenes is enough to give me chills. It's in a different league to the remake.

This! One of the most terrifyingly creepy films ever made

Jacob's Ladder.

It's not even a horror, I don't know what it is, but it is deeply unsettling .

I would call it psychological horror. Very disturbing film.
