10 Disturbing Movie Deaths Nobody Remembers

Michael Clayton received plenty of attention on original release in 2007, and even won Tilda Swinton a Best Supporting Actress Oscar, yet it sadly isn't much talked about these days, nor is its skin-crawlingly eerie central murder scene.

Once the deeply shady agricultural conglomerate U-North learns that lawyer Arthur Edens (Tom Wilkinson) has proof that they knew their weed killer caused hundreds of deaths, the company's counselor Karen Crowder (Swinton) instructs two operatives to kill Arthur.

But far from the typicality of a thriller, Arthur isn't killed in dramatic fashion by way of a hit and run or a gunshot to the head - he's subdued in a more disconcertingly clinical way.

The aforementioned operatives incapacitate Arthur at his home, drag him to his bathroom, and then inject him with a drug overdose, staging it to look like a suicide.

There's nothing melodramatic or flashy about it - no music, no wild camerawork, just two "professionals" murdering someone with extreme efficiency, checking his pulse to confirm the kill, and then swiftly leaving the scene.

It's so disturbing because it feels so real, like we're intruding on something we shouldn't be watching.
