10 WTF Off-Screen Horror Movie Deaths

10. Marlena - Cloverfield

Nobody suffers a more agonising death in Cloverfield than Marlena (Lizzy Caplan), who midway through the film is bitten by one of the smaller parasitic creatures which falls off the main monster attacking New York City.

This leaves Marlena increasingly weak until she starts bleeding from the eyes, causing the military personnel in the vicinity to start panicking and drag her to a quarantine area.

Though we don't directly witness what happens to Marlena, we do get to see a silhouette of her grisly end, as her body rapidly expands and violently bursts open, splattering blood all over the nearby tarp and killing her instantly.

Even though we understand the basic beats of what happened, not explicitly seeing it only ends up making her death that much more unsettling, even if it was most likely concealed due to budgetary constraints given the technical complexity of showing such an elaborate death in clear view.
