AGE RESTRICTIONS

Most thrillers have age restrictions. The age restrictions are certified by the British Board of Film Classifications (BBFC), but in the end it is the County Council to put an age restriction on the film. It is possible for the BBFC to put an age restriction of say age 15 and for the County Council to lower it to age 12. Furthermore age restrictions for the same film can be changed whilst they are at the cinema and when they come out on DVD.


As we are making a psychological thriller, we cannot show all the content to everyone. Therefore we are going to have an age restriction of age 15 to ensure that everyone who does watch it, is able to understand it without complications.
The age restriction of 15 indicates that: 'Suitable only for 15 years and older. Nobody younger than 15 may see a '15' film in a cinema. Nobody younger than 15 may rent or buy a '15' rated video ( these films may contain offensive or emotionally harrowing scenes or strong language and violence).
