There's behind the scenes content for the trilogy that discusses how the props department deliberately made imitation dead horses for the sake of battlefield realism.

A character brings dead rabbits back to camp, and there's a debate over the best way to eat them. It's very graphic.

Grima Wormtongue makes uncomfortable advances towards Eowyn that could be interpreted as sexual or predatory, but it is not graphic and he only touches her face as opposed to any other part of her.

Plenty of people fall to their death in the battle of Helm's Deep, also Frodo has a dream about Gandalf falling to his death from the last movie though we later see that he survived, also Aragorn is believed to have fallen to his death but he survived and returned

Gollum has discussions with himself more than the average person, and is violent.

The “yes” does in fact refer to Gollum, although he doesn’t have DID, he’s a caricature of DID, and an offensive one at that. He’s clearly meant to represent a multiple, and it’s done so in an extremely offensive way.

the lightning during the battle at helm’s deep triggers my flashing-light sensitivity issues, so it’s worth being prepared for. part 2 of the movie, when they’re on the battlefield and it starts raining.
