Look at John Carpenter's The Thing. It has the gore and horror, but the majority of the best scenes are those where we are waiting for something to happen. That blood test scene still gets me every single time and I've watched that movie at least twenty times.

Land Of The Dead was decent but not a patch on the first films.
The Thing was considered ridiculously gory when it came out, too. I think that puts in perspective how gore in horror movies has grown out of control.

John Carpenter's The Thing is a top 5 horror film in my eyes. I highly recommend the Howard Hawks original too
