Looking for a horror movie that isn't gross

Suspense and dread, not gore. The ones you can recommend to your mom.
  1. Get Out 2017
    The sunken place. A genre opener.
  2. The Sixth Sense 1999
    Still works.
  3. Hereditary 2018
    Slow. Devastating. The dollhouse.
  4. The Babadook 2014
    Australian. About grief, dressed as horror.
  5. It Follows 2014
    Synth score. Detroit. The follow.
  6. A Quiet Place 2018
    Sound is the threat. Tense throughout.
  7. The Others 2001
    Nicole Kidman. Twist that works.
  8. Don't Look Now 1973
    Venice. Red coat. Slow dread.
  9. The Ring 2002
    VHS tape, seven days. The remake holds up.
  10. Pan's Labyrinth 2006
    Spanish Civil War + fairy tale. Beautiful.
