I want to recommend the Cobwebs Channel, a YouTube channel presented by an American guy called Daniel who really loves his horror films. (It's not restricted to horror films, he talks about other kinds of film as well, but the focus is horror-- as the channel's name suggests.)
The most important thing in any channel is the personality of the presenter. What I really like about Cobwebs is that this guy doesn't engage in the usual tiresome irony, wisecracks, and oblique pop culture references which make most movie review channels unwatchable. He just speaks like a normal person, and he's very enthusiastic about his subject.
There's no heavy-handed political correctness, either. There's no obvious political, religious or social agenda at all. (He actually presented one video on horror films with church-related themes which was very respectful to Catholicism.) He doesn't really do "so bad it's good" reviews, and he obviously doesn't relish giving bad reviews. He finds something good to say about most films.
He also loves atmosphere, just like me. His reviews very frequently dwell on the atmosphere of the film, and he's made separate videos for (mostly horror) movies set in different situations or in different seasons.
Give it a go!
