Really good horror movies?

Question

I've never seen a movie that legit cared me, but I'm looking to change that. I need some good horror movies that build and HOLD tension.

I am not looking for jump scares, they do nothing for me.

If you think something like Paranormal Activity is good horror, please save my time and don't answer.

The Exorcist (1973) I always recommend this one
also The Descent (2005) has its moments and its surprisingly really good

Good horror movies you may look into
The Wicker Man (1973)
Alien (1979) (not exactly horror nowadays and you may already seen it, but still great movie)
Audition
Jacob's Ladder 

They say Ringu and Ju-on: The Grudge (the japanese films) are scary but I haven't seen them...

Dawn of the Dead is brilliant. Just imagine being stuck inside a shopping mall with zombies outside trying to get in. Take note the original version is dead set boring. Don't let me stop you, here is the plot for one of the best re-makes ever, one of my favorite films.

A nurse, a policeman, a young married couple, a salesman, and other survivors of a worldwide plague that is producing aggressive, flesh-eating zombies, take refuge in a mega Midwestern shopping mall. Ana, a young beautiful nurse finishes her day-shift at the hospital to return home to her beloved husband, they make love and sleep together. The next day, after her husband is killed by her neighbor next door, he suddenly comes back to life. She discovers the chaos happening in her neighborhood and escapes from her home. Soon after coming to her senses in the woods, she encounters a cop and other survivors, they decide to find safety in a mall. Soon more survivors come, and they learn that if they want to stay alive, they should stick together as the world is overrun by an army of undead. Can they survive the horror in this horrific global chaos? When there is no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earthAna, a young beautiful nurse finishes her day-shift at the hospital to return home to her beloved husband, they make love and sleep together.
