Once at Roke Island Ged witnesses a fellow wizardry student being stabbed in the hand with a steak knife. The student whimpers and screams dramatically then later the stabbing is shown to have been faked. Might be frightening to young children.
while at Roke Ged consents to a sorcerer's duel at midnight and summons the spirit of Lady Elferren, an evil spirit; at first she rebukes him saying "what have you done" and then suddenly transforms into a winged, bat like demon. She attacks him and scratches his face. this scene is very intense and frightening.
after being exiled from roke Ged is chased by the gebbeth, a disfigured intensely frightening demon; this scene is VERY scary.
each meeting with the gebbeth becomes more and more frightening and intense.
A maid in the order of the priestesses is strangled and is later found hanging from the ceiling of her cell. This is very intense.
a woman is impaled by a sword and killed.
The entire film has very intense and frightening sequences and would be too scary for young children.
