10 Awesome Recent Horror Movie Kills You Probably Missed

10. Emily - Opus

The recently released Opus was a rare swing and a miss for A24, given that Mark Anthony Green's horror-thriller about a cult led by a legendary pop star, Alfred Moretti (John Malkovich), flopped at the box office and scored mixed reviews from critics. Once all hell inevitably breaks loose, though, the film does deliver a gnarly death scene you won't soon forget.

Midway through the picture, Emily (Stephanie Suganami), an influencer who was invited to Moretti's secluded compound to sample his new album, falls ill and disappears. She reappears near the end of the movie, emerging from a beanbag chair which she's been inexplicably stuffed inside. 

Emily's face is also grotesquely swollen, a result of being injected with an unknown substance by one of Moretti's followers. This substance makes Emily's face and tongue swell, causing her to slowly suffocate as protagonist Ariel (Ayo Edebiri) and the other invitees look on.

It's a skin-crawlingly prolonged death made even worse by some nauseating makeup effects. Nobody in the movie bit it worse than this.
