Film Rating


Looking at The British Board of Film Classification we are looking for them to rate our film as a '15' only suitable for 15 years and older.

This is for:

Violence

Violence may be strong but should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury. The strongest gory images are unlikely to be accepted. Strong sadistic or sexualised violence is unlikely to be accepted. There may be detailed verbal references to sexual violence but any portrayal of sexual violence must be discreet and have a strong contextual justification.

Language

There may be frequent use of strong language. The strongest terms may be acceptable if justified by the context. Aggressive or repeated use of the strongest language is unlikely to be accepted.

Horror

Strong threat and menace are permitted unless sadistic or sexualised.

Imitable Behaviour

Dangerous behaviour (for example, hanging, suicide and self-harming) should not dwell on detail which could be copied. Easily accessible weapons should not be glamourised.

Therefore we should expect a rating of '15'
