Always thought Train to Busan sounded like a concentration camp drama.
Suspiria is VERY high up there for me. It's style, it's score and it's direction are as perfect as you're likely to see within the genre.
(I know you said post 000's, but just for anyone who might be interested in general...)
Rosemarys Baby
The Thing
Evil Dead
The Shining
Raw
Alien
Re-Animator (those it's more a comedy at this point)
The Babadook
The Vanishing
Mullholland Drive
Eraserhead
Ring (both versions are good in there own ways)
The Devils Backbone
Possession
Jacobs Ladder
Meshes In The Afternoon scares the sense out of me every time
Let The Right One In
Anything by Cronenberg gives me the damn willies
There's probably a thousand more that I'm missing here. Horror is such hugely varied and rich genre, despite what people think these days.

Alien, 2003 Quadrilogy DVD box set version!
In no particular order and covering all subgenres, my favourites:
The Thing (80’s)
Hereditary - I thought this recent film was REALLY good but I seem to be the only one on here that liked it
The Grudge
The Cabin in the Woods
Return of the Living Dead (THE zombie movie, IMO - so fun!)
Saw
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the oldie that by far away stands up the best)
The Woman in Black - yes, the Harry Potter one.
Slick recent Hollywood efforts worth a watch:
Insidious
Conjuring 1 / 2
Annabelle Creation (the second film)
Classic genre setters that are great films in their own way but not my favourites:
Alien
The Shining
The Exorcist
The Thing (80’s)

Audition is the only movie where I had to pause it and take a 20min break.
The Ring (remake) is the only movie where it lingers after I come home from the cinema seeing it, and then not turn on my TV for 2 days.
Everything else I think its a bit meh in terms of the fear factor. I can appreciate them on a movie critique level and can appreciate the tension, such as those in A Quiet Place but I don't find most horror movies scary.
p.s. I found Train to Busan more like an action adventure with zombies.

Sinister
and not horror as such but a challenging watch nonetheless for two fairly graphic scenes : Irreversible.
EDIT: for tension ratcheting Vacancy is a favorite.

Another vote for sinister. From the opening scene involving the tree i actually found the entire film quite uncomfortable to watch due to the level of tension.
Train to busan is also excellent.

Be sure to check out some of the French movies:
Martyrs - an absolute favourite and very harrowing towards the latter part, don't even consider the remake, i'll hunt you down
Switchblade Romance, also known as High Tension
Frontiers
Inside - again, please please don't entertain the idea of watching the remake.
