A death scene in a movie can be memorable for many reasons - perhaps it's startlingly creative and hilarious, boasts some awesome practical effects, or is just downright disturbing.

Sometimes a death scene is just so horrifying in its nature and execution that it sears itself into your psyche, ensuring you won't ever forget it. 

And yet, for whatever reason, some movie deaths end up slipping through the cracks and being mostly forgotten regardless.

Perhaps they were part of a movie that was largely underseen by audiences for one of many reasons, or the death was trumped by another, more over-the-top death elsewhere in the film.

But these movie deaths were all intensely disturbing, largely due to their grounded realism and clinical focus on the character in question experiencing their final moments of life.

They're the sort of death scenes that will leave you uncomfortably fidgeting during and afterwards, pondering what sort of mind could depict something so uncomfortable on screen.

Yet these scenes just aren't talked about nearly enough by film fans, and so, if you haven't seen these movies or just don't remember these scenes, they're absolutely worth checking out...

10. Pete Henrick - The Grey

Though everyone remembers the end of The Grey, where Liam Neeson's John Ottway stages a last stand against the alpha wolf, nobody really talks about the low-key horrifying death of his fellow plane crash survivor Pete Henrick (Dallas Roberts) a little while earlier.

Henrick is the only remaining survivor other than Ottoway who hasn't yet succumbed to the bitter elements, but he dies a chilling death when he falls into the river while fleeing the attacking wolves and becomes trapped underwater.

Ottoway desperately tries to pull Henrick free and even attempts to administer rescue breaths, but Henrick is panicking and not even remotely trying to hold his breath.

Ottoway continues to try and free Henrick until his underwater screaming goes silent and it's clear that he's drowned.

Between Henrick's sheer panic at the situation and the fact that he drowns in water that's just a few feet deep makes this one of the most realistic drowning scenes in any movie ever.
