Certificate 15 means films only suitable for 15 years old or above, subsequently anyone aged below 15 is not allowed to watched a '15' film in a cinema or rent or buy a '15' rated video work.
The use of discrimination-related language or words is prohibited. For sexual, drug taking and violent scenes, they must not be demonstrated in details and never make them imitable. Especially for drug related scenes, the use of easily accessed drugs and highly dangerous substences as props is not allowed. Some common strong language like 'fuck' is allowed to use but there is a limited standard on using strong words, for instance 'cunt' is the strongest term that could be accepted in this case. Too many repetition of strong language is not allowed as well.
Certificate 18 means no one younger than 18 is allowed to watch an '18' labelled film or renting or buying it. There is not much limitations on '18' rated films since adults should have their own choice
of entertainment. But any events in the film that would encourage illegal activities is not allowed.
There shouldn't be any encouragement of drug use or violence in the films.
Too explicit sexual works which might stimulate or arouse sex is classified as 'R18' while educational sexual scenes are not problem to show in an '18' film.
We have decided that we may use an age 15 certificate for our film as it will not have enough adult or extreme horror content to qualify for an 18 certificate. We aren't using any strong language and the horror scenes are mild, the death of the boy near the end is only implied therefore a 15 would be appropriate.
