I'm more a fan of creepy movies as opposed to gory horror movies.
Some of my favorites:
1) Peeping Tom: Made at the same time as Psycho, but reviled instead of praised. The killer is one of the most sympathetic monsters in movie history. It makes a direct connection between his voyeurism of other characters and ours of his life.
2) One Hour Photo: Purely psychological horror, but still a compelling account of one man's gradual descent into total insanity. One of Robin Willaims most intense and best roles.
3) Eyes without a Face: Not just a song title, a demented surgeon tries to (SPOILER)restore his daughter's face using transplants, from live victims. Not particularly bloody, but very squirm-inducing.
4) Hellraiser II: Yes it falls prey to some silly horror conventions and is too gory in places, it nevertheless does two things really well: it has the best treatment of the Cenobites, and it has an awesome dipiction of hell and Leviathan.
5) Event Horizon: Visually a masterpiece, plotwise a mess. Love the ship and design.
6) Silent Hill: Same as above. Beautifully done visually, huge plot issues. It's worth rewatching just to drink in the ambience.
7) An American Werewolf in London: One of the best balancing acts between horror and comedy. My favorite part is the way the wisecracking best friend (SPOILER)comes back as a wisecracking zombie.
