John Carpenter's The Thing (1982)
Awesome psychological horror. I'd say this is my favorite horror movie of all time. The effects are all done by a talented artist. Not cheesy in any way. The musical score is eerie as hell and the elements of isolation and paranoia make this movie one creepy fucker. Kurt Russell stars in it....fuggin kurt russell
The old school movies are badass. Like the original Nightmare On Elm Streets with no cgi. Mmmmm.

The best horror movies get on a personal level with the viewer and play on our emotions. Story line is so important--in that it doesn't have to rely on in your face gruesome, creepiness or gore. That's why a movie like the Blair Witch Project is actually disturbing because we never see the witch. We build this imagine in our heads from what is given to us.

Occupant. Not to be confused with Occupants which came out later.
They guy basically develops psychosis as he waits alone in an apartment for the lease to be in his name. The ending is just gross. It was a pretty fucked up movie.

Man that's the exact reason I always give when people ask me why I like blair witch.
Fuck man, I forgot about the original Last house on the left. Also the remake to I spit on Your Grave. Fucking great. There is a second one out, but I have yet to see it.
I didn't care for the remake of last house, but its another option.
The old Faces of Death 1-4 use to give me the creeps when I was younger. I almost felt like a demon or some shit was waiting to fucking kill me while I was watching those movies.
From what I remember most of them were fake, but you still got a wannabe snuff-like film.lol.

Now, but back in the day to a 13-14 year old.....it was like the devil's grail or some shit. I snagged a Blu-ray copy of the first one for nostalgia. 
I still have all my Spawn comics too.lol

Crayola can maybe help me out with this one. There was an awesome lovecraft movie with the same guy from Dagon in it. He was a college student and was staying in an old house as a tenant and when he would sleep at night a rat would come out and fuck with him. Turned out there was a whole nother dimension in one corner of his room.
The Witch in The House or the witch in the walls, fucking rat people, shit I cant remember.
You are looking for this. Most of the online Lovecraft movie databases online are incomplete, so its understandable that it may not come up on a quick search. If you liked that, then this is another similar one that is very good.

Dreams in the witch house. That's it!
I haven't seen the second one. Those Lovecraft collection movies like the one you suggested are hard to get. I have seen Pickman's Dream? I think it was, but I cant find the rest. Used to be on Youtube.
Have you seen The Last Lovecraft? It was good for what it was, comedy. Kinda wish they would go big budget film on the call of cthulhu. Can you imagine seeing Cthulhu in a movie now? Shit would be epic. And not that black and white call of cthulhu either.

Elm Street 5:The Dream Child?
j/k
H.P. Lovecraft was an author who got most of his fame during his life writing for Weird Tales magazine. He wrote short stories and poem-like passages. He is the one responsible for such stories like the Call of Cthulhu, Dagon, NightGaunts, and a shit ton more. The universe he created was so expansive that by the end of his life he had other authors contributing to his world and adding to it.
This was way back in the 1920's. Just imagine Stephen King, but scarier, more demented, and a grasp on what is truly terrifying. There are so many nods to Lovecraft in so many horror films that its hard to even remember them all.
There is a movie about him called "Lovecraft:Fear of the Unknown". Check it out, it has a lot of info about his life and a lot of interviews with the directors he influenced.
Fucking weird dude, but what do you expect from the guy that gave us Nyarlathotep, Azatoth, oh yeah....and the Necronomicon.
That's his most famous tie in to relevant horror movies.
The book Evil Dead revolves around was actually a creation thought up by Lovecraft.
Fuck man, if you like scary shit you gotta check out some of his stories. Don't be offended by the speech though. Since it was so long ago, he uses the old-school English, so it might be kinda hard to understand. Love me some Lovecraft.

Tbh I haven't seen many foreign horror films, the Asian ones seem to really hit that creepy factor. Seen some classics like The Ring, The Grudge, Ichi The Killer etc, all very well shot.
Watched 28 weeks later so thanks to whoever it was that mentioned that one, good movie. Gonna try P-O's suggestion 'Dreamcatcher' next, has an intriguing synopsis
