To clarify what you were asking about, I have not seen The Six Sense because it's supernatural, basically anything supernatural turns me off, I don't really have a line where I would or wouldn't watch depending on severity of supernatural, I just stay away from it all, just my own personal preference. The reason I liked the other movies was cause they were not supernatural at all, like my friend saw The Village before me and told me that its not supernatural even though it seemed like it (or maybe sci-fi, creatures in the forest), the ending to Split I guess was either supernatural or sci-fi depending on your view, The Visit has nothing supernatural also, just creepy old people.
I also haven't seen Psycho (1960) besides clips of the "famous" shower scene lol. Haven't seen the Exorcist either since it's supernatural right? When I'm going to watch a movie I normally just type up the name in google and check the description, and if it says "supernatural" anywhere in there I just stay away, and the Exorcist description definitely makes me keep away haha.
I've seen the original Halloween since a friend showed me it, I was like "sigh, I'm gonna hate this aren't I? Since it's basically what created the slasher subgenre of horror..." but I actually didn't mind it too much, the kills were not graphic and it felt focused more on the crazy story of Michael Myers and the stalking/tension building rather than the focus on the kills themselves, although it definitely felt like a slasher for the amount of people died. Also why do they always have to kill the dog? :(
About a few of the suggestions you made, I've seen Gone Girl, The Arrival and the Terminator movies, none of them are scary at all to me, but they are still awesome movies! I watched Hush but didn't really enjoy it. How gory are The Thing movies?
Thanks again for all the suggestions, I'm looking forward to checking some of them out. :)

All of The Thing films are sci-fi, of course. The Thing 82 is great, has excellent practical creature effects (no CGI) required for the story, I wouldn't say it's gory anymore than a child birth, you know. The 2011 is not as good, not really scary, but if you like the first two, you'd like it.
For scary, I'll recommend Vacancy, and it's not supernatural nor gory. Jaws is pretty scary, but you've probably seen it. Psycho is scary, and it's a Hitchcock thriller with twists, it's not really a slasher or gory.
Scary without supernatural or slasher is tough. I doubt you'll find many on this list very scary (maybe Night of the Living Dead), but they are still very good.
Dog Soldiers, The Howling (both werewolves); The Descent (2005) and Get Out (2017) are regarded as scary, good and not supernatural/slasher. Howling was the scariest, has one brief nude scene.
The Exorcist is usually ranked the scariest film all-time. It's about a priest who helps save a girl who is possessed. So it's generally 'supernatural'.
A Nightmare on Elm St is pretty scary. It's about a murderer who was killed by a group of parents, he then is able to attack their children when they dream.
Hope to hear what you think of the films.
