10 Awesome Recent Horror Movie Death Scenes

When Evil Lurks is one nasty movie and not for the faint of stomach, enough that it's tough to pick just one death scene from the movie's many horrific ones.

But the one that best sticks in the brain - pardon the pun - sees a possessed Jimena Ruiz (Desirée Salgueiro) kill her husband with an axe before turning the weapon on herself, in an attempt to stop the possession spreading.

Director Demián Rugna pulls no punches as he lingers on Jimena repeatedly slamming the axe into her own face until she collapses to the floor dead. It's horrifying and sad, leaving the audience little opportunity to relish the savagery of the violence.

And if this somehow isn't bad enough, it's worth remembering that Jimena is pregnant at the time that she does this to herself. Again, not a film for the squeamish, but an uncommonly mean-spirited, nasty take on the demonic possession movie.
