death glare
Hostile silent stare
A death glare is a look of intense hostility or displeasure directed at someone—the kind of stare that could kill if looks had that power.
It communicates anger, warning, or contempt without words: She shot him a death glare across the table.
The phrase is informal and slightly hyperbolic.
