Watched The Dark and the Wicked last night on Shudder. Talk about a depressing movie. It's about a brother and sister that come home to see their dying father off. It doesn't ever say exactly what is going on, but there's some paranormal shit involved that wants the dads body or soul.
Not a lot of jump scares, but I think the fact that you aren't sure what exactly is going on or why, adds to the hopelesness and creepiness factor. The whole dying dad is just a vortex of evil that sucks everyone involved into killing themselves. Like, literally the only things that live are the goats.
On a side note, there's a few other good flicks on Shudder right now. Summer of 84, Clovehitch Killer, and Train to Busan. Summer of 84 had a Stranger Things/Disturbia feel, Clovehitch Killer would be what you would do if you found out your dad was the BTK killer, and Train to Busan has fast zombies.
