Audience and Certification

Our genre is Psychological Thriller, which typically is aimed at teenagers and adults. Some are rated 15 while others are 18, due to the conventions of this genre- drugs, alcohol, murder etc...

After researching on IMDB, 60% of the top Psychological Thrillers are certified 15 rather than 18. This broadens the audience more, allowing younger viewers to watch.


According to these rules from the British Board of Film Classification, our film would be rated a 15. It is likely that our film will contain strong language, and definitely drug taking. Our film would not 'endorse discriminatory language or behaviour'. As a psychological thriller that focuses on drugs, there would not be a strong focus on sex, but perhaps a few indications of it. Our film will not contain sexual violence and overall will display the negative effects of drugs rather than promoting them.
