Certification by the BBFC guidelines

We believe that our film will be rated 15 by the BBFC, and here is why.

Discrimination

The work as a whole must not endorse discriminatory language or behaviour - We will adhere to this as there will be not endorsement of any discriminatory language and with behaviour, our main killer, is brought to justice and therefore there is no endorsement of any bad behaviour.

Drugs

Drug taking may be shown but the film as a whole must not promote or encourage drug misuse. The misuse of easily accessible and highly dangerous substances (for example, aerosols or solvents) is unlikely to be acceptable - We will adhere to this as as there will only be drugs that are affecting our character in a very bad way. Therefore, there is no encouragement.

Horror

Strong threat and menace are permitted unless sadistic or sexualised - We will adhere to this as there will be no sadistic or sexualised menace or threat.

Imitable behaviour

Dangerous behaviour (for example, hanging, suicide and self-harming) should not dwell on detail which could be copied. Easily accessible weapons should not be glamorised - This is adhered to because there will be no dwelling detail that could be copied and easily accessible weapons will not be sexualised.

Language

There may be frequent use of strong language (for example, ‘fuck’). The strongest  terms (for example, ‘cunt’) may be acceptable if justified by the context. Aggressive or repeated use of the strongest language is unlikely to be acceptable - There will be no aggressive or repeated use of the strongest language, so this rule is adhered to.

Nudity

Nudity may be allowed in a sexual context but without strong detail. There are no constraints on nudity in a non-sexual or educational context - There will be no nudity, therefore the rules are more than adhered to. 

Sex

Sexual activity may be portrayed without strong detail. There may be strong verbal references to sexual behaviour, but the strongest references are unlikely  to be acceptable unless justified by context. Works whose primary purpose is sexual arousal or stimulation are unlikely to be acceptable - This is adhered to as there is no sexual activity in the film.

Theme

No theme is prohibited, provided the treatment is appropriate for 15 year olds - Adhered to as the film is appropriate to 15 year olds.

Violence

Violence may be strong but should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury. The strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable. Strong sadistic or sexualised violence is also unlikely to be acceptable. There may be detailed verbal references to sexual violence but any portrayal of sexual violence must be discreet and have a strong contextual justification - There will be no dwelling of infliction of pain/injury, it will be not very gory as it will just focus on quickly killing without any strong, gory content. No sexual violence.
