Things repeating themselves from a objective point of view does not mean that the same thoughts, emotions, feelings are also repeating in the mind of your character. As @dan -hall said it, you should adopt your main character's point of view, but horror may not be the only resort.

Your story make me think about another, The Tartar Steppe by Dino Buzzati: there is a man waiting a particular event all his live long. Nearly nothing happens during the whole story, but the reader is captivated by the way the main character trapped himself in this meaningless waiting, day after days. The book must be read quickly: it gets boring if not.
Fortunately, it's short.
