'Dark City' count?
'Paper Man' is pretty depressing that I remember and I think it's tone is overall cloudy except for a few bits.

Doesn’t matter what the genre is
It counts alright ^^
Ok, in that case, 'Sucker Punch' is gloomy as fuck. Best to watch the extended cut of that for proper context.
'Watchmen', 'A Scanner Darkly', 'Above the Shadows', 'The Matrix', and the Blade Runner flicks.
All I can think of at the moment.
The machinist has this same vibe imo.
I imagine 30 Days of Night has little sunshine.
Judge Dredd
Ink (2009) (an… interesting low budget film that does pull off alot visually speaking). It’s hard hard to explain but the depth/tones, both acoust and visually, of the scenes is used to convey plot elements that become clearer as time goes on.
Metalhead episode of Black Mirror. Not a movie but definitely along the lines of what you’re describing
Chernobyl mini series
Winter's Bone
Frozen River
Melancholia
Seven
Dark City
La Haine
Nil By Mouth
The Road
The Mist
Double Indemnity (a lot of noir really but that's one that comes to mind)
The Road and Angela's Ashes. Actually, unless it's a comedy or a cartoon saloon production most Irish movies fall into this category. I'm thinking of the wind that shakes the barley, black 47, Michael Collins, the crying game, and kind of on in the name of the father. There are many more.
Updoot for The Road. It's one of the best movies I'm never watching again.
It's a "horror", but The Babadook comes to mind.
The Night of the Hunter
M - Eine Stadt sucht einen Mörder
Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari
I think you will love all of these

Good movie
Skinamarink is pretty much dark the whole runtime (shot in a dark house). But definitely isn't for everyone.
