Six horror films for people who hate jump scares

Six horror films for anyone who would rather not flinch: The Innocents, The Haunting, Don't Look Now, Rosemary's Baby, Let the Right One In and The Others. Critics tend to praise them for dread, ambiguity and atmosphere rather than cheap shocks.

Pick the kind of unease you can sit with, an old house, suspicious neighbours, grief or loneliness, and the matching film appears. No list can promise zero startles, but these are the safest places to start.
