Horror (Taken from http://www.bbfc.co.uk/classification/guidelines/ )

Taken from BBFC Website after they did a survey exploring parents views on certification-Interestingly, while respondents noted that the tone of I Am Legend had clearly contributed to its ‘15’ classification, a number of parents felt that the BBFC had not always taken tone into account and two films in particular were discussed in this respect – Beowulf and The Dark Knight. Both were felt to be on the borderline between ‘12A’ and ‘15’ and whilst opinions about the actual classification did vary, it was clear that the BBFC Guidelines need to reflect feelings about a ‘dark tone’ within the context of ‘fantasy’.
