The only horror film I can say that I genuinely love and enjoy is the sixth sense.

You can't blame the whole genre based on the muck of it. That's like writing off comedy because Paulie Shore sucks. Here's a few that don't do any of what you describe except for maybe a few jump scares. The ones Batlodd mentioned are great too.
The Witch
Hour of the Wolf
Rosemary's Baby
The Shining
The Babadook
The Others
Coherence (kinda more than a thriller tbh)
Eyes Without a Face
Repulsion
Eraserhead
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
Creep
Bug
