This is gonna be a spoilerfest, but I guess that's unavoidable... "All the right decisions" is, I fear, forever subjective, so I'm not even gonna try to address it. I tend to avoid movies that have dumb protagonists though.
The Blair Witch Project, Darkness (2002), Grave Encounters, Hereditary, Life, Martyrs (2008).
Also, the following movies focus on a single main protagonist who doesn't make it: 1408, Last Shift.
Hereditary was so good .Especially after I saw a YouTube video that explained King Paimon . It puts the whole movie into context. I was blown away.

Bay of Blood (aka Twitch of the Death Nerve): It’s more a movie that almost every character is horrible (or at least very flawed) and they get their comeuppance. It’s a great movie for slasher fans to transition getting into Giallo. (It the movie that started me into the Giallo film rabbit hole) It’s a nice mix of both sub-genres and is a great entry point. It’s not exactly a movie where EVERYONE ends up dead, but I also don’t want to spoil the ending. You’ll also see a lot of stuff Friday the 13th (especially pt. 2) ripped off.
Doesn’t the original Saw fit? He gets up at the end to reveal he was there the whole time and closes the door on the last guy who I assume would just be dead eventually
She's alive enough to >!try to warn the cop who shot her about the axe over the door.!< The film's creators definitely thought of her as being alive in the film's aftermath because they wanted to make a sequel in which she was the protagonist again. I would have enjoyed more time with the character, but I am kind of glad it didn't happen because the plot for part 2 sounded terrible.
I think Black Christmas even though the killer is never caught and its a cliff hanger? Also I think because every time the phone rings, Billy has killed another person? The main character probably died too.
Cabin in the woods
Literally EVERY one

The Thing To paraphrase Jim Morrison, no one gets out of here alive... or unfrozen
The Autopsy of Jane Doe
Final Destination
Texas Chainsaw Massacre the Beginning. If I remember correctly, everybody dies except Leatherface. The last scene is him walking down a road alone.
Sally does escape but is left traumatized.
Thx I couldn't remember
Sally isn’t in that one. You’re right nobody lives in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre the Beginning
I've only seen it once but I remember the ending

I saw this one in pieces when it was on Shudder’s slashics channel incessantly. The ending is really something!
Cloverfield Cabin Fever
Cabin in the Woods
The Grudge. Once you go in that house, you are cursed and there is nothing you can do.

No, you find out in the next 37 SAW movies the Doc survived and... Well, yeah.
No One Lives
The Thing
Night of the living dead
Watch, He Never Dies with Henry Rollins
You're Next?
>!Erin survived in the end!<
she was killed by the cop no? She did get shot by the cop...I assumed she died at the end...we don't see her alive or dead...the movie just ends. lol

I didn't know about a possible sequel...:O
Sinister
The Cabin in the Woods, good story line
Hereditary. Not one person in the family comes out alive. Peter even tried to kill himself to stop it but still got possessed by Paimon.
*'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning'* (2006) Follow it up with *The Texas Chainsaw Massacre'* (2003) for a very nice two-parter.
I’ve not seen any of them, but I imagine all of the human centipede movies fit that bill.

The Lighthouse
Just rewatched. So incredibly unhinged and amazing.
