Gotta be a tie between Pet Semetary and Blindsight, although for different reasons.

For me, pet semetary was very disturbing as an examination of a parent's grief. But kinda underwhelming as a supernatural afterlife story. Dont get me wrong, still loved it, but yeah the build up is way more harrowing than the pay-off
