Genuinely scary horror movies

The trouble with being a sceptic/atheist is that supernatural horrors just aren't scary because all the time you're watching it you're thinking "well this is just bollocks, ghosts don't exist".

Just been watching The Conjuring with the missus (even with the lights turned off to try to increase the spookiness) and the whole time the pair of us were just completely unmoved by it.

Can you recommend something that is actually scary?

Personally, Jurassic Park scared the crap out of me because it was something that could actually happen. (Science bitch!)

Not into torture porn like Saw and that sort of bollocks.

Not bothered about cheap shocks with loud noses and things jumping out at you unexpectedly.

Looking for something that creeps you out or makes you actually scared.

Answers?

Unfortunately for you most scary movies are unrealistic in some way.

DEAD OF NIGHT (1945)
"When I was dressing this evening, just as I was tying my tie, I suddenly realised that the reflection was all wrong." Robert Hamer's short film about a haunted mirror is one of the highlights of Ealing's deliciously scary portmanteau horror film in which guests at a house party relate their uncanny experiences to the assembled company. Googie Withers tells us how she bought an antique mirror for her fiancé, only for him to see reflections of the past, not the present..

We're going to give Hereditary a go, as all the rest of the suggestions are either things we've seen, things we're not bothered about, or things we're thinking about reporting to the police.
