Certificate Research in a Crime Thriller

Certificate Research
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.
