The Phantom Carriage
An alcoholic, abusive ne'er-do-well is shown the error of his ways through a legend that dooms the last person to die on New Year's Eve before the clock strikes twelve to take the reins of Death's chariot and work tirelessly collecting fresh souls for the next year.
Although Death and afterlife imagery are central motifs, the film functions primarily as a moral drama/social tragedy; fear/horror elements are meaningful but not the defining genre.
Best for viewers looking for a light on scares, atmosphere-heavy, slow-burning and low-gore horror movie.
