10 Horror Movie Deaths That Get Worse The More You Think About It

Given the unhinged, free-wheeling nature of director Ari Aster's latest, the Odyssean Beau is Afraid, it's hard to keep track of all the injuries, mayhem, and death going on - but this one in particular is a death most of us forgot even happened. Well, buckle in, because here comes the bad memory express.

Protagonist Beau (Joaquin Phoenix) has a hard life, living in Downtown Hell, suffering abuse on the street, loud neighbours, and all the other super-charged city miseries that are anathema to anxious and claustrophobic folk. Whether he likes it or not, he winds up taking a break from it all in the suburbs, hosted by a woman who runs him down in her ambulance, whose psychotic teenage daughter Toni is determined to rebel against anything - including life itself.

Downing the better part of a tin of blue paint, Toni is gone before we know it, and Beau - the wrongly accused perpetrator - is chased out of town. But let's have a think about the logistics. Given how quickly the paint kills Toni, it must have toxic pigments. While we don't see it onscreen, the paint would have damaged her airways, intestinal tract and other internal organs, tearing the teenager apart from the inside. Granted, we could instead assume she simply suffocated, but breathing in half a tin of paint doesn't sound a whole lot better.
