I mean those movies are really about how the protagonists are just straight up ****ed in the face of an overwhelming enemy that can clearly never be overcome no matter what they do, which is kind of what I'd want from that kind of horror movie. Even though I'm not actually looking for zombie movies.

While it's very loose narratively speaking, I think that Tetsuo fits. There are classics like The Thing and Prince of Darkness, but ja you're right. It's not Lovecraftian at all, but watch Gerald's Game. I don't think I've seen a film convey hopeless dread so well.
