To decide what certificate out film would probably be rated I decided to look at other similar films and their certificate because then I could also determine what our target audience is.
Se7en: BBFC rated this film an 18 'Contains strong bloody violence, horror and threat'
The Machinist: BBFC rated this film a 15 'Contains strong language, gory images and sex references'
The Silence of the Lambs: BBFC rated this film a an 18.
The Sixth Sense: BBFC rated this film a 15.
Shutter Island: BBFC rated this film a 15 'Contains strong language, bloody injury and disturbing images'
Psycho: BBFC rated this film a 15.
Prisoners: BBFC rated this film a 15 'Contains child abduction theme, strong violence and strong language'
The Usual Suspects: BBFC rated this film an 18 'Contains Strong Violence'
Side Effects: BBFC rated this film a 15 'Contains strong language, sex and violence'
Inception: BBFC rated this film a 12 'Contains moderate violence'
Memento: BBFC rated this film a 15.
Most of the films above have the certificate of either a 15 or an 18 so it's clear that our film ought to be the same as it will have a lot of the same conventions. Like Shutter Island and Psycho our film will involve a form of crime that brings the narrative together is some way.
