Certificate 18 -
If a film has a certificate of 18, it can contain all the concerning areas around media with the exception of criminal violence. this is because of the human rights act 1998. An 18 certificate film will have constant offensive language and scene of a sexual nature. Most 18 rated films are horror and contain a lot of blood and gore. Most true thriller films are rated 15 however some more extreme ones for example phsyological thillers that may be very distrubing may be rated as an 18.
