* The scene where [[spoiler: Sauron whispers the poem of the One and the Nazgûl came one after another, surrounding Galadriel. And these aren't the hooded Dark Riders from the previous movies, oh no. They're all [[http://i.ytimg.com/vi/wPrGj3tfew4/maxresdefault.jpg transparent]] and clad in ''VideoGame/DarkSouls''-esque armor. When they fight Saruman and Elrond, they move so fast that it's a miracle those two could keep up. Everything, from their appearance to their movement, just feels ''[[UncannyValley wrong]]''. To emphasize this is the look on Galadriel's face as she is initially surrounded; either that's outright fear or her "merely" being shaken, but regardless, her losing her composure at all shows just how dangerous and terrifying the situation is, and comes close to being a BreakTheBadass moment.]]

* The troll that Legolas causes to crash into the tower to make a bridge to fight Bolg is one of the most horrifying things that could be seen in the movie. Pale white, all four of its limbs cut off with weapons fixed onto the stumps, along with its ''[[EyeScream eyes put out]] with chains attached in their place''. The fact that he killed the thing seems almost like a MercyKill.

** And then consider the boys' ages. They're confirmed to be the youngest members of the Company and it's never made clear if Fíli and Kíli are even of age in dwarven society. Thorin, Dwalin, and Bilbo are forced to watch a young boy, who they all love and care deeply for, [[spoiler: be stabbed through the chest with no one to comfort or hold him. And then Kíli also dies an equally terrible death without any of them being there for him, either.]]
** A significant chunk of the film focuses on AdultFear, and doesn't spare a single race from it. Bard is in a constant state of fear and panic for his three children, Thranduil can be seen visibly losing his calm at the prospect of Legolas being on the battlefield, and Thorin, Bilbo, and Dwalin are faced with the horror of watching [[spoiler: Fíli's impalement and not seeing or even learning (in Thorin's case) of Kíli's death]]. The dead bodies of several children are shown in Dale as well, thoroughly averting all aspects of InfantImmortality.



* Bolg's brutal beatdown of [[spoiler: Tauriel during the Battle of the Five Armies]] is difficult to watch.
