death stare
Withering silent look
A death stare is a prolonged, hostile look meant to intimidate or express extreme displeasure: She gave him the death stare when he interrupted her.
The term is informal and often hyperbolic—the stare won't actually kill anyone, but it communicates unmistakable disapproval or anger.
