I'm looking for movies that gradually build a really creepy atmosphere/setting/characters. Movies that drop scattered hints that Something Is Not Quite Right that grow more frequent that leaves the realization of the full scope of how hosed up it is until the end of the film or even until reflection upon the film afterwards. Can someone help me out?

I'm having a hard time thinking of specific examples of what I mean - Audition did the slow burn build up really well and Dark City (the director's cut at least with the awful expository monologue cut out) was good at letting you know things were weird without telling you precisely how. Am I describing what I mean properly?
