BBFC- gives age ratings to films, to 'protect' the public from violent or inappropriate content.



An age rating of 15 form the BBFC means that there may be strong language, there be strong threat or horror and may be strong violence, the poltergeist has this age rating of 15 as it does include all of these.
My film has a lot of violence and horror because of the genre of the film (horror), violence and scary content is expected from a horror film and that is what the audience see it for. The poltergeist is not at a lower rating such as 12/12A because it is too violence and scary for an audience of this age, also the film inflicts pain/violence on a young girl throughout which could effect a younger audience than 15. Also to make the poltergeist a 15, it does include language which may affect a younger audience and may not be suitable for the younger audience to hear. At the start of the film there is brief sexual references
