I suggest The Innocents, the 1961 adaptation of The turn of the screw by Henry James. It's about a Victorian governess who comes to believe the young children she looks after have become possessed by the malevolent spirits of a dead cad and his deceased, wimpy girlfriend (who was also the previous governess). It's one of the most beautiful looking horror films, full of gorgeous black and white cinematography. But it has more than just good looks - this film is seriously creepy once it gets going. I still get chills from the scene with the little girl down by the lake and in fact got a shiver up my neck just typing this. One of those films where you can read the whole story in two entirely different ways. Both are equally chilling to me.

It worked for me. The Changeling is the only horror film I ever just turned off after about twenty minutes because I flat out decided it was going to be too frightening
