I've seen a lot of horror movies but specifically looking for stuff that is slower and in general just creepy over scary.. like "it follows" "dead silence" "shutter" or "smile". Something that kinda shows up slowly and makes the hair on the back of your neck stick up instead of hide under the sheets kinda stuff I guess lol.
I havn't seen the witch but I browsed through it and thought it might be a bit boring since its set in the older days, also Midsommar was good but bizarre ending.
Ah, got it. I thought you were specifically looking for slower / slow burn movies. The Witch is definitely that, but if the period in which its set doesn't appeal, you would for sure find it boring. Personally, I loved it, right down to the archaic language. Midsommar was also a heavy favorite of mine, as was Hereditary. All three kind of hit that sweet spot of creepy for my tastes.
I'm going to catch Smile this weekend and hope it's right up that same alley!
We think along the same line haha those are all good you will love smile. It has a bit of deeper meaning if you look for it but perfect for creeps, don't watch any trailers if you can!
I'd argue that Smile's trailers do such a bad job of representing what the film is that seeing them doesn't really matter.
The Blackcoat's Daughter
The House Of The Devil
These are two recent 'slow burn' horror movies that I enjoyed.
The Others with Nicole Kidman
Not sure it's really a horror, but The Blair Witch Project popped into my mind.
Pulse & Cure by Kiyoshi Kurosawa have the atmosphere you're looking for.
Second this. Also Dark Water by Hideo Nakata
Can’t believe nobody said Hereditary , amazingly creepy
Take Shelter
Pontypool
El espinazo del diablo
His House
El orfanato
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
The Mothman Prophecies
The Changeling (1980) - not to be confused with the totally unrelated movie 'Changeling' starring Angelina Jolie
The Woman in Black (1989) - British TV movie, not the later adaptation starring Daniel Radcliffe

Get Out! or Us
Seen of course Jordan Opeele is great if you havn't seen the new twilight zone he made check it out
I've only seen 3 of his Movies. The two i mentioned and Nope. I didn't care for Nope at all. That's another 2 hrs I'll never get back again!
Done
Watched Nope for like 30 min and I thought this is boring I don't get it and stopped. Heard it never got any better.
You're not wrong
Upvote me
Rude so no
What do you mean
Why is it acceptable that your only comments are "done" & "upvote me," .you didn't contribute anything to the post or give me reason to upvote you.. get a clue.
Dabbe the possession
Pyewacket (2017) - About a teen who gets caught up in the moment and summons a witch.
Lamb (2021) - Couple adopts a lamb-human hybrid and you get that tense, slow-burn vibe for most of the movie. Mainly focuses on the interactions/family life of the child with the couple with an unsettling and foreboding atmosphere looming in the background.
Done
Did you ever see the Sinister movies? The second one wasn't as good as the first, but the original Sinister is probably one of the best horror movies of all time
I think I saw the first one it was good, kinda similar to the ring pretty disturbing though
Noroi might be a good watch for you, op.
Hatching (2022)
Give my film a try - a creepy slow-burner from South Africa, available to stream everywhere :).
Here's a teaser: https://youtu.be/suU3qSvRmFA
Blair witch project is a good one if you like “found footage” films!
The more recent thriller “the little things” was exactly that… creepy and eerie. Great film
I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House
Is extreme slow burn but worth it, just make sure to watch it with good sound system or headphones
The thing, the wailing, the handmaiden
I'll checkout the wailing and handmaiden thanks
The Empty Man 100% one of the best “creepy” movies i’ve seen in recent memory. eerie and quite unique imo

Have you seen The Witch? Definitely fits the bill. Also, Midsommar, which isn't really horror so much as a creepy study of grief.
