No, but trolls capture the party with the intention of eating them and discuss methods of “preparation”.

The orcs track the dwarves they're hunting. And the scene with Bilbo and Gollum could be seen as stalking.

About 55 mins in, they realise that two of the horses are missing. About a minute later two more horses are being carried by a troll and they are very unsettled. They were going to eat the horses but they are saved

There are some falling scenes. Protagonists don't die but orcs surely. There are several situations where one of the main main threats is 'falling to one's death', but no main character actually dies from this.

Orcs are frequently hit in the eyes with arrows. Also, a dwarf with a slingshot shoots at creatures’ eyes several times.

There is no actual possession but there is a scene where a wizard is performing a spell and it is visually similar to possession (his eyes roll back, it seems as though someone else is speaking through him, etc)

The entire lore of the dwarves are based on Jews and their exile from their homeland. The dwarves are also described as greedy and gold loving, common antisemitic stereotypes. Tolkien would probably not be considered antisemitic as he was outspoken of his support for Jewish people, however his writing is still a product of it’s time.

One of the dwarves, Bombur, is very overweight and there are jokes made, of the slapstick variety- for instance, a table he’s sitting on collapses after someone throws him a sausage.
