*Snow White: A Tale of Terror (1997) [Lady Claudia Hoffman/Old Crone]: Stabbed in the chest when Monica Keena stabs Sigourney's reflection in the magic mirror; she then starts rapidly aging, gets hit in the face with many shards of glass when the mirror shatters, and finally is burned to death when she staggers into the fire that had started.

*The Cold Light of Day (2012) [Jean Carrack]: Shot in the chest with a sniper rifle by Roschdy Zem just as Sigourney is about to kill Henry Cavill and Veronica Echegui. Her body is later seen as Zem's cohorts drag her body away to dispose of her. 
*Red Lights (2012) [Margaret Matheson]: Dies of a vascular condition; her body is shown afterwards when Cillian Murphy discovers her. (It's initially implied that her death was caused by Robert De Niro's psychic powers, but it turned out to be natural causes after all.)
*Vamps (2012) [Ciccerus]: Playing a head vampire, she is decapitated with a chainsaw by Dan Stevens as Weaver is strangling his father (Wallace Shawn). Her severed head then takes possession of a headless skeleton to attack Dan with a sword before his father shatters the bones with her finally dying when her head is dropped into a consecrated tomb and sealed up (so Krysten Ritter can become mortal again allowing her unborn child to survive).
