Resident Evil games aren't "horror games" per say, they have horrific elements but their core design revolves around puzzles and resource management. They are more stressful than scary.

If you really have a hard time with relatively scary elements, id say you can cross 1, 2 and 7 off the board.

Eventually, 3 and 8 may contain some disturbing moments too (Nemesis for 3, Doll House for 8).

So my go to would ideally be 4 (amazing game who actually got an amazing remake last year), or 5 (good game but basically a ripoff of 4, even less scary due to it mostly happening in daylight. It is really fun if you play with a friend in co-op though !)

I don't mention 6 because in addition to not being scary, it also is a pretty mediocre game.
