Certification choice

We have decided to classify our opening scene for a horror film as a 15 rating. This is because most horror films that effectively insight fear in the audience are aimed towards an audience of 15 and above. The rating 15 means we can include strong threat and horror as long as there is no sustained focus on sadistic or sexualised threat. this will be essential to our opening scene as we hope to introduce the horror almost immedietly.This age rating can include any of the following features:

1.   strong violence
2.  frequent strong language (e.g. 'f***').
3.   portrayals of sexual activity
4.   strong verbal references to sex
5.   sexual nudity
6.   brief scenes of sexual violence or verbal references to sexual violence
7.   discriminatory language or behaviour
8.   drug taking

Therefore It is illegal to supply a VHS, DVD, Blue-ray, UMD, video game, or film tickets with a 15 certificate to anyone under hat age.
