BBFC Research

BBFC stands for the British Board of Film Classification. It classifies films into categories depending on the age they believe the film is suitable for, and will judge the classification on whether the film contains material that some audiences would find distressing. Such material would include, strong language, violence, gore, scenes of a sexual nature, threat and drug use.  

 Thrillers are most commonly rated 15 or 18. This is because thrillers often use material such as violence, gore, threat and strong language, and it will depend on how aggressive the material is to determine whether it would be an 18 certificate. Our thriller is going to follow this common thriller trait as thrillers of certificate 12 or below often aren’t adult enough for a primarily adult or teenage audience.
