Research:Film Classification - '15' Certificate


If a film is rated 15, it means that no one over the age of 15 is allowed to view it. These films can include swearing, more sexually explicit scenes etc. They tend to be taken more seriously than the lower classifications, as they are primarily aimed at an adult audience. A lot of films that are aiming for the teenage audience cut out a lot of their violence in order to appeal to a wider audience. Many films cut out many seconds of violence in order to stick with its target audience and to allow teenagers to watch it. Consumer Advice
Only those over 15 years are admitted. Nobody younger than 15 can rent or buy a 15-rated VHS, DVD, Blu-ray Disc, UMD or game, or watch a film in the cinema with this rating. Films under this category can contain adult themes, hard drugs, frequent strong language and limited use of very strong language, strong violence and strong sex references, and nudity without graphic detail. Sexual activity may be portrayed but without any strong detail. Sexual violence may be shown if discreet and justified by context.
