The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim VIOLENCE/GORE 7

– A woman stabs a man with a pitchfork: we see the weapon sink into his chest (with some blood) and he falls dead. A man is pushed to his knees, his hands are tied behind his back while another man holds a knife to his throat; we hear a man slash another man’s throat and the body falls, but we don’t see the action as the people watching react in horror. A man is shot in the neck: we see an arrow sticking out from both sides (blood forms and he falls). A man stabs another man in the stomach and we see a bloodstain on his shirt as he falls to his knees. A man throws a knife at a woman, hits her in the shoulder and draws blood, then charges at her with a sword; they fight, she hits him in the throat with her shield and holds the shield against his throat until he dies. A man cuts off an archer’s hand; we see a bloody tree stump and we see a bloody severed hand fall, still holding the bow. Several men were shot with multiple arrows; we see them on the ground, either dead or struggling to move and with arrows sticking out of their bodies. People are stabbed through the torso in several scenes with the sword coming out the other side (some blood is visible). Soldiers charge over the hill (the village is on fire behind them), a man lies dead with a spear in his torso, and a woman cries over his corpse. A man runs to check on his father, who has been knocked down in a fight, only to find that he has been killed; he draws his sword and attacks the assassin.
► Two children practice fighting with real short swords and shields; one child hits another in the face, cutting his eye; he covers his face with his hand and we see a pool of blood as another child apologizes and rushes to his aid. Two men argue about politics; one shakes his fist and says, “Kings do not fight in their own house,” but challenges another man to a duel; outside, the men exchange blows, punching each other in the face and body (we see blood on their faces), and one man faints and falls. Several armed men attack an unarmed man; disarms them, strikes (blood spurts on impact) and grabs the spear and throws it, hitting one man in the stomach (collapses).
► A man grabs another by the neck and lifts him up choking him, then throws him to the ground and the man on the ground threatens him. A man grabs a woman by the wrists and slams her against a wall, then threatens her with a knife and cuts her face; we see a line of blood. A man sneaks up on a woman, puts a bag on her head, then picks her up and carries her away; she screams and fights back as the man says they should kill her, but the other man says he’ll take her to his commander first. The man knocks the woman down and starts strangling her until the horse rears up and throws him off the woman. A duel between a man and a woman on horseback; they strike each other and both fall from their horses, then get up and continue fighting with swords. The door opens and a man is thrown through the door, hitting the ground; a woman with a sword runs in and fights a man. A woman encounters a giant eagle in a cave on a cliff; he screeched and she backed away in fear, nearly falling over the edge of the cliff.
► The armies fight in several scenes and many men are shot by arrows and fall from their horses. Many people hit others with swords and hammers (we see blood spatter with some injuries). A man mounts a war elephant and stabs it several times; we see blood, we hear her making painful noises and she eventually falls down dead. The elephant was struck by a spear through its open mouth; we see an elephant freeze and fall, and people scatter to avoid being crushed. A squid-like monster grabs the elephant with its tentacles, drags it into the water and eats it whole; we watch the elephant’s body disappear into the creature’s mouth. A war elephant charges a group of soldiers, and they attack the elephant with swords and hammers; we see blood and wounds. A wounded war elephant (he has visible wounds and parts of his ears have been cut off) shouts and rushes at a group of people; a man stabs him (we see some blood) and an elephant chases him. A man attacks several monsters, punching them and exchanging blows; one of the monster’s horns falls to the ground, bloody, and we see a bloody wound on its head where the horn broke off. The woman throws a spear at the monster, stabs it through the eye (we see the eye of the wound); when he falls, the man hits his head with a stone (blood spatters the man). Several men find the remains of a dead monster with a smashed, bloody head. A woman takes out a piece of meat on a bone from her bag (blood is visible on it); she throws it to a big bird that eats it whole. Several warriors in several scenes wear masks made of animal skulls. In several scenes the horses jump and squeal in fear, and in some scenes they almost throw their riders off their backs.
► In several scenes, people discuss the rumor that the man has become a wraith monster, capable of “unnatural and unholy things,” who stalks his prey and viciously kills them. The man says that the dead bodies have disappeared and must have been eaten by the phantom monster. The orc-type monster tells the other to “check them before you eat them”, implying that they eat human corpses. The woman is captured by several monsters that threaten to eat her. A man asks what to do with a young man’s corpse; another man says let them rot.
► Several men scream in terror and run; one of them says that he saw another man who is “not a natural man” killing many people, “tearing them apart with his bare hands” and that he is “coming for us”; another man goes to find a pile of dead bodies (we see blood around them). People flee from an invading army in several scenes; we see adults and children looking scared and hear babies crying. Several scenes show corpses of soldiers and horses, and one scene shows at least 15 armored corpses, lined up in the snow. We see rotting corpses of men and horses in several scenes with decaying flesh and exposed bones. The narrator describes a man frozen in battle, still fighting; we see him standing frozen, surrounded by the frozen bodies of the men he killed. As the army prepares for battle, their commander shouts, “We will dye the dawn red with the blood of our enemies.” A man begs another man to spare the life of his captured son, saying, “My life for my son.”
► A man yells at another man and pushes him, saying he didn’t protect the young woman and she “could have died.” People threaten each other with violence, revenge and death in several scenes (eg “I’ll kill your family”, “Your next breath will be your last”, “You’ll regret this”). People discuss past battles and wars, describe people who “take up arms” to fight and people who die. The woman begs the man not to start a war, saying, “Innocent people will die.” The woman tells the others about rumors of ghosts in the fort, including the ghost of a woman who died of a fever the night before the wedding.
