3''300'''s bloody battles and patriotic plot really drive home one truth: war may vindicate your willpower, but it is still utter hell.

5* The huge black monster of a wolf that young Leonidas kills in the opening flashback. Yes, it's just [[UnreliableNarrator the narrator's BS exaggerating its size and power]], but on screen it looks more like some kind of nightmare-spawned mutant ''tiger'' than an actual wolf.
6* The Ephors are not only hideous to look at, they're also [[DirtyOldMan old creeps]].
7* The Tree of the Dead, which goes on the same premise as the wall.
8* The wall of dead bodies. The gross up close ups of all the corpses don't help much.
9* The Immortals themselves are pretty unsettling too, being the first of Xerxes' soldiers to actually kill several Spartans and wear expressionless silver masks that once removed, reveals orc-like monsters.
10** The [[GiantMook giant]] Immortal who is hulking and monstrous and comes very close to killing Leonidas.
11* The mutilations and deformities among Xerxes' courtiers, a sizable number of which appear to have been inflicted upon them purely for their god-king's warped sense of ''aesthetics''.
