After exploring the BBFC website, I have concluded that our film will be rated at 15. I think this rating is appropriate for our film as our film does contain most of the above. We want our action/horror themes to be graphic but just not gory enough to need an 18 rating. Frequent strong language may be used also, but not in an extremely aggressive way.
A 15 rating on a film means that no-one under 15 is allowed to see a 15 film at the cinema or buy/rent a ‘15’ rated DVD. 15 rated works are not suitable for children under 15 years of age. A 15 rated film consists of:
In a 15, there may be racist, homophobic or other discriminatory language, and the work could explore themes relating to this. However, at 15 the work as a whole must not endorse discriminatory language or behaviour. Also, sexual activity can be portrayed, as long as there is no strong or graphic detail. Some sex scenes can be quite long at this category and may involve some nudity and movement. Though nudity may be allowed in a sexual context there should be no strong detail. Lastly, violence may be strong. It should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury, however, and the strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable. Strong sadistic or sexualised violence is also unlikely to be acceptable.
