I'm assuming you have seen the usuals like Martyrs and A serbian Film
August Undergorund - You said you have seen most of the found footage films. This is one of those though.
www.themoviedb.org
There are survivors though. I put the full link because there are a ton of The Hunt movies. Not a typical horror with gore etc. RL horror
I saw the Devil (2010) - Pretty nuts Korean horror sorta.
Grotesque (2009) - Lotsa detail in the horror.
Anyhow, just some ideas off the top of my head.

I just got done watching The Empty Man. It was pretty damn good. Movie sort of shifts gears quite a bit, but I really enjoyed the fact it was something somewhat and I didn't necessarily know where the directions going.
I highly suggest watching it.

The other movie from the director of When Evil Lurks is really good as well, Terrified . The Breach ended up being pretty good and the first movie by the guy who directed Oddity is a good one, Caveat
You probably can't go wrong with much on Shudder, they've curated a really incredible collection of horror movies and there are only maybe a dozen or so duds out of their entire list of titles
Mr Jones
Broadcast Signal Intrusion
Calvaire
Everyone Will Burn
The Pond
The Seeding
Loop Track
Relic
The Suffering
Dachra
Ghoul
I randomly found this on ScreamBOX and it was a hidden gem, didn't expect much out of it but it turned out to be one of my favorites of the year, Visitors

The Breach was pretty bad. I watched it because I realized it was a film adaptation of a Nick Cutter horror novel. Books not long whatsoever, but it's really good. Film kinda captured some of it, but it was just too damn low budget.
If you read, I suggest you check it out, especially the audio version, great performance. It's much deeper than what was in the film, there was a whole other bigger element that was left out which would have been awesome in a movie.

Does the book have the completely unrelated conspiracy theory guy peppered into it like the movie? Having the guitar player from Rush show up as a scientist talking about MK Ultra for no reason was kind of fun

As the premier horror fan on this site.... I've seen most everything and run into the same problem of looking for new horror.
Putting the requirement that EVERYONE dies might be too much. How about only some survive?
New on Shudder is Arcadia. One thing I'll say about this movie is the monsters are some of the scariest/unnerving ones I've seen in a long time, so check it out.

You mean Alex Lifeson. I know when I saw that I was like what the hell. Now there's nothing about that. I thought that was actually pretty hilarious, I'm guessing it was a Canadian based film, and if I had a guess Cutter might be one as well. I think that's actually a pseudonym though.
Now the book actually has stuff about the Philadelphia experiment. It's really good, if you at least enjoyed the movie to some degree, you probably love the book. All of his stuff is been really good though, and I know I've mentioned his works in another book thread before.
If he actually got a decent higher budget movie treatment, or decent mini series, would probably do his stuff more Justice.

It wasn't too bad. I agree about the monsters just being pretty creative and weird. I enjoyed the movie all in all.

Here is a decent list that other people have no recommended so far, some will have your preference where the protagonist dies, I wont spoil which but these are all at least decent.
I liked both of these. YMMV, but they are gore fests that while not faithful to the originals take the source material into a darker more serious direction. Rise has by far the best deadite performance including the Raimi ones.
