We just rewatched The autopsy of Jane Doe recently. Crazy how they created such an intense atmosphere from pretty much a one location film.Right now my favorites on Netflix:
The Ritual (2017) - 9/10... Creature feature. Great mix of scare & suspense.
The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016) - 9/10... One helluva underrated supernatural horror gem. Crazy story meshed with great amounts of scare & suspense.
The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) - 9/10... More suspenseful & psychologically terrifying than outright scary. And a very slow burn. Strangely visceral experience though that leaves you feeling disturbed.
Insidious (2010) - 8.5/10... Supernatural horror with a very clever story. Lots of jump scares, but good tense atmosphere throughout.
The Ring (2002) - 8.5/10... Everyone's seen this.
The Girl With All the Gifts (2016) - 8.5/10... Zombie flick done right.
The Boy (2016) - 8/10... Sort of a run of the mill supernatural horror film with the same scare tactics you've seen hundreds of times until the final act that blows up the formula. Honestly if it weren't for the ending I wouldn't be mentioning this film lol. I loved it for it, but most people were pretty "meh" about it.
The Invitation (2015) - 8/10... Psychological thriller with good twists & turns. Tense & unnerving.
The Babysitter (2017) - 8/10... Not scary or suspenseful, but wicked fun. Horror comedy featuring Samara Weaving (Ready Or Not).
As Above, So Below (2014) - 7.5/10... Found footage survival horror/thriller. Great supernatural elements.
Hush (2016) - 7.5/10... Home invasion thriller. More suspense than scare, but well worth it. Some unique elements at play that sets it apart.
The VVitch (2015) - 7.5/10... Period horror done right. Slow paced, tense atmosphere, creepy & uneasy. Not everyone's cup of tea.
Would You Rather (2012) - 7.5/10... Probably too gory for your tastes, but pretty wild movie.
Before I Wake (2016) - 7.5/10... Dark fantasy, Archetypal fantasy stories meet traditional supernatural horror elements. Layered story with great acting. Decent scare tactics & suspense.
Train To Busan (2016) - 7/10... Zombie flick. Foreign film, subtitled in English, but well worth it. If you like Zombie flicks, then this is top notch quality (apart from maybe the acting lol).
Creep (2014) - 7/10... Psycho slasher shot in first-person style. Mark Duplass simply brilliant. The plot is fairly forgettable, but his performance was very memorable. If you like this then check out the sequel Creep 2 (2017), which is also on Netflix. Just as good in terms of Duplass' role, but they play up the strange bits a little too far.
The Endless (2017) - 7/10... Strange story that burns slowly for 30-45mins but races to the finish line. Great visuals & sci-fi elements if you can understand the supernatural elements at play. Sort of a crazy puzzle, that doesn't necessarily end up making any sense, but you're still glad you watched it. Fairly low budget, and the acting is a bit dry.
Sweetheart (2019) - 7.10... Pretty neat low budget creature feature.
If you've depleted this list, then let me know and I'll drum up a Prime list for you. I think @Taddy Mason did a pretty good Prime list some time ago... But fortunately for us, the Hoop search function has been on the fritz and we'd have to dig for it.
