A newer one I thought was good for not alot of gore was The Night House.
Definitely second The Ritual and Hush.
I’m not sure if it counts as horror per se but Horse Girl was unsettling.
And maybe I’m dorky but The Babadook was actually really good with a kinda happy ending.
And I’m unsure if The Wailing technically fits everyone’s definition of no gore. I mean, it’s not a slasher movie by any means, but there is blood (although its mostly on the living) and ghosts that are definitely dead.
There are different genres of horror. Personally I like mid to late 1970s. Think Halloween with Jamie Curtis, or When A Stranger Calls.
Don’t be afraid to dig into the past, like John Carpenter’s version of The Fog. Or Tobe Hooper’s mini series of Salems Lot. There’s also the 70s classic, Carrie.
If you want to go further back, there are some fun anthology movies from the 60s like Twice Told Tales with Vincent Price.
Which of the old movies still hold up great? They may have pioneered many things, but since then those things have been so widely used in later horror movies that they feel cliché, even though they did it first, if that makes sense.
Nah it’s fine. Always great to get good recommendations. What kind of movies are the other two? I’m not looking forward to another depressing Hereditary experience
