The Shining would be my first rec but you've already seen it. Here's a shortlist

Calvaire (one of the best portrayals of hopelessness I've seen)
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (disconcertingly bizarre and again, hopeless as **** in the middle of nowhere)
V/H/S (just plain fun and an interesting take on the found footage genre)
Bug (Michael Shannon's finest role; a little slow at the beginning but it's some of the best psychological/manipulation themed horror in the game)
The Others (basically a remake of Turn of the Screw)
