I'm making a best guess here. Maybe something like "If a look could kill" or "eye daggers"
Both mean to express hostility by the way you look at someone.

@COASTBC Ah, that makes sense! Although I've never heard of eye daggers. I've heard of "glaring daggers" meaning to look at someone with contempt or suspicion. I assume it's the same idea.

@MichaelaCoreySilver Yes, I suspect they have the same origin. In some old school cartoons they animated daggers flying out of a characters eyes to imply a hostile stare. Different descriptive phrases for the same thing.

@AnastasiaI I commonly describe the look on the man's face in the link as "resting bitch face."
