Films like The Woman in Black.

The Woman in Black (2012) reads as Heavy, steady, extreme drama / horror, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, cold. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
