Movies that aren’t considered in the horror genre but nevertheless still hit the mark.

The Machinist.
The Sixth Sense – I consider it to be more of a suspense drama.
Requiem for a Dream.
@Vunessuh I was fairly creeped by Whatever Happened to Baby Jane with Bette Davis
@ucme I have yet to see that. I will add it to my Netflix que. :)
A haunting in Connecticut was the best I’ve seen in a while.
Bully
Based on a true story. Naive Florida teenagers plot to murder one of their own, who has been too much of a bully to them
Dr.Strangelove frightened me a little. Sure, it was hilarious, but the frightening thing was that I would not be at all surprised if something like that happened in real life.
@randomness Kim Jong of North Korea taking the lead role no doubt!
Jesus Camp. That movie scared the fuck out of me.
I really can’t explain this but any movie with Philip Seymour Hoffman freaks me out b/c he gives me the creeps. I really don’t know why… he just creeps me out.
@jenandcolin probably that hang dog look of his he does look a bit stalkish
I found – Six Degrees of Separation (1993) – to be a bit creepy.
The Village by Shyamalan, a very rewarding thriller
David Lynch’s Blue Velvet.
Mommy!
@filmfann GA! I also found Lynch’s movie Eraserhead terrifying when I first saw it. Especially the parts with the creepy dinosaur-baby-thing.
Heavenly Creatures. It lingered in my mind for weeks afterward.
Oooooo…..yes….Silence of the Lambs. I actually walked out ¼ of the way through. It was so disturbing to me. (Yeah, I know.)
Looking forward to watching Silence of the Lambs now!!
I saw Suicide Circle (Japanese movie folks). It felt like my intestines had been punched. Couldn’t sleep afterwards for 3 hours
The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover
Traffic
Pan’s Labyrinth
I agree with @janbb: Pan’s Labyrinth (especially the bottle scene and the scene with the eye-hand guy).
Also, The Magdalene Sisters. It was seriously creepy the way these women were treated. (I think it was based on a true story, too. <shivers>)
A French straight to TV movie I saw years ago called “Les Fleures Sous la Neige”. (Flowers beneath the snow.)
A movie about a young girl who is mistreated by her step mother.
There’s plenty of movies like that, but the fact that this one was low budget seemed to demand much work from the actors, so it seemed a lot more “real”.
However that most likely doesn’t fit the context of the question, as it’s scary indeed, but not in the way a horror movie would be so…
If you consider Eraserhead not to be horror, well it freaked me right the hell out. :/
Andy Warhol’s Frankenstein
“You can’t know life till you’ve f**ked death in the Gaul Bladder…
Sick
One Hour Photo and Smoky and the Bandit.
