Ouch!
As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.
- The sequence in which hundreds of giants burst from the forest after the king and his forces.
- Never mind that these Giants can out-run people...at full speed, they can almost out-run horses as well.
- Indeed, the very fact that these giants subvert the usual "Big = Slow/Clumsy" expectation goes a long way to make them frightening.
- The giants in general can be quite scary for younger viewers at the very least, especially whenever they make snacks out of the humans.
- Fallon's death (As provided in the picture in this page). No noticeable blood, but being ruptured by a giant beanstalk growing from within probably scarred a few kids. Special points for the bursting head, with an eyeball flying right at the screen.
- Fallon's second head may count as this, being an undeveloped, malformed conjoined twin that is unable to properly speak and seems to be mentally challenged.
- Wicke crying out to Roderick as he’s about to be eaten by Foe (a bit ironic, considering that just moments before this happened, he was in the middle of asking Roderick why people scream before they die...) Even as he's being shoved into the Giant's mouth, his muffled screams can still be heard for a brief moment before his head is ultimately bitten off. While we don't actually get to see any blood or gore, we do get to see Roderick's horrified expression, as well as a brief shot of Wicke's headless corpse.
- The destructive consequences of felling a giant beanstalk are primly glossed over in fairy tales, No Endor Holocaust-style. In this film, they're very much not glossed over, and may well have killed more people than the giants did!
- The sequence where Jack uses his last magic bean to kill Fallon. The camera, following the bean, takes a trip into the giant's mouth, down his gullet, and right into his stomach full of acid, as though the viewer is being Swallowed Whole. Before that, he even straight up suggests this was what he intended to do to Jack. And even worse, there's a brief glimpse of a human skeleton at the bottom of said acid.Fallon: Try not to kick going down, boy.
