The Usual Suspects is the first one that comes to mind that isn't horror and the villain winning by getting away. Does that fit the 'evil wins' concept you are looking for?

Would Reservoir Dogs also count in that case?

None of the thieves got away at the end of Reservoir Dogs.

This is not to say that "good" triumphed at the end either.

Mr Pink walked away with the diamonds before the police arrived. It’s not clear if he was caught or not but he did walk away. https://youtu.be/0GQc_SwSp_U?si=1XjXFxckgrvR_6EV

It's pretty clear to me given the cops shooting, then shouting orders, and Mr. Pink saying he's been shot, that he does not in fact get away.

I know there's theories on the Internet about this, and he may not have died, but at the very least he's been caught and does not keep the diamonds.
