One of the elements that separates Gothic fiction from modern horror writing is the focus on shadowy imagery instead of jump scares.
Early silent films, which had no CGI or sophisticated technology, used this well, as this YouTube clip shows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxFVHQTqMRg
One modern film that did an outstanding job of imagery is The Autopsy of Jane Doe. It's been several weeks since I watched it with Daniel, and remnants of impressions have clung to me ever since.
If you haven't seen it, here's a trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtTAhXuiRTc
