Our Film's BBFC rating

OUR FILM'S BBFC RATING

We decided to rate our film a 15. According to The BBFC (British Board of Film Classification), a 15 rated film:

• Will not have any discriminating language.
• Drugs may be used but it cannot promote the use of them
• Strong horror is allowed unless sadistic or expressed in a sexual way.
• Dangerous behaviour eg suicide should not be expressed in a way that could be copied or promote this behaviour. Weapons should not be promoted.
• There can be use of strong language such as f*** and strong terms such as the c*** word can be used if the context allows it to be accepted.
• Nudity may be allowed if in a sexual context. No constraints against non-sexual nudity or educational.
• Sex may be portrayed without plenty of detail.
• Violence may be strong but should have large detail on inflicting injury. Strong gory pictures are unlikely to be accepted.

We decided this would be suitable for our film because it will include:

• gory images in attack scenes and throughout the film with strong use of blood.
• strong horror- not expressed in a sexual way.
• some use of strong language (not in the opening)
• strong violence
