A lot of movies delay revealing the bad guy to build suspense. Alien is what pops to mind. Do you specifically not want to ever see baddies?

I'm thinking a long the lines of something where you never see the baddie. It follows is another good example of that. Those kinds of movies always creep me out the most because even if the protagonists win they have to live the rest of their lives wondering wtf was after them or who

Any of the Final Destination movies. The original Blair Witch Project. If you don't count the masked/alternate forms of the antagonist, Fallen and Zodiac are among the best.

Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy? I don’t think we ever see Karla.

You never really see the Nazis in Dunkirk.

My first thought was Phone Booth, but someone beat me to it.

One that doesn't quite fit, but I also thought of Zodiac. Since it was based on an unsolved case, even though they interview a suspect, you don't know you if you actually see him or not. He is shown, masked or in the dark, in the cases where someone survived, but they filmed it with different body doubles so they never quite match from recollection to recollection.

Supposedly Anton Chigurh in No Country For Old Men isn't a real person. He represents the drug violence.
