No one under the age of 15 should attend a film at the cinema that is rated a 15 or be able to buy a 15 rated film.
Our film is based on a young couple moving into a new house. Therefore we believe the audience for our film would be between 15-27. However we also feel other age groups would be interested in this film but the age chosen to rate this film is correct. Teenagers are experiencing new feeling so therefore they would enjoy the suspense and shock. Horror films are stereotypically 15-27 and mainly men as they enjoy the thrill.
Although we thought about age for our target audience we also thought about the gender of who would prefer our film. Stereotypically men are more likely to enjoy horror films, this is because they enjoy the use of violence, gore and the fear of what may be. We know this because they are more commonly bought by men and so are violent games.
However girls also enjoy horror films, stereotypically they enjoy the suspense and fear. Lots of couples go to see horror films as they enjoy watching each other fear the unknown but also know they shall not be harmed. Horror films normally have a group of friends in them which makes them targeted at friends that are teenagers because they can relate to them and then fear for them more because they imagine themselves in that position.
15 rated films include:
Drugs
Sex
Violence
Threat
Inappropriate language
Imitable behaviour
The reason we rated the film a 15 is because it shall involve violence as the film continues which is legally rated a 15.
The definition to a 15 rated film that includes violence is...
"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 violence is also unlikely to be acceptable. There may be detailed verbal references to sexual violence but the depiction of sexual violence must be discreet and justified by context."
