Films like All the Colors of the Dark.

All the Colors of the Dark (1972) reads as Heavy, kinetic, measured giallo / horror, surreal in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, cold. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
