A new AI-generated image turns The Lord of the Rings into a horror movie, and the result is pure nightmare fuel. Based on J. R. R. Tolkien's beloved fantasy novels, Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy is widely regarded as one of the most iconic film trilogies of all time. Starting with The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, the films tell the story of Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood), a Hobbit, as he sets out across Middle-earth to destroy the One Ring in the fires of Mount Doom.
Throughout his journey, Frodo and his companion, Sam (Sean Astin), encounter all manner of dark creatures looking to impede their journey. In the first film, for example, the Fellowship faces off against a cave troll in the bowels of the Mines of Moria before then fleeing from a fiery Balrog. While The Lord of the Rings franchise features many larger monsters the heroes must contend with, Orcs and Uruk Hai are also an ever-present threat. In addition to Frodo and Sam, The Lord of the Rings movies feature a host of other main characters, including Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), Legolas (Orlando Bloom), Gimli (John Rhys-Davies), and Gandalf (Ian McKellan).
