I'm in the kick for some spooky stuff
What systems are good to run a horror game with a focus on action? Think or something like The Evil Within

There are a number of systems that can handle it well, but far more important is real buy-in from everyone at the table. In my experience, even when players say they buy in to a serious horror game, the tone never lasts longer than 20 minutes before players start to crack jokes and it becomes much more army of darkness than Evil Within. not a bad thing, but not what you're looking for.
As for systems, try dread or
savage worlds (especially with realms of cthulu setting gritty damage rules)

I know, that is why I want it to be action focused like TEW
I've heard a lot about Dread but I mostly play through Roll20 so its not an option, thanks anyway.
bamp
Call of Cthulhu and Fear itself ?

What does /tg/ think to the Gumshoe system anyway? the skill system just feels weird to me.

DREAD, definitely DREAD. While the action may be difficult to represent, horror and the tense atmosphere are easy.

I second this, dread is the greatest thing for survival horror
