What makes a 15?
No-one under the age of 15 is allowed to watch a 15 film at the cinema or buy/rent a ‘15’ rated DVD as they are not suited for the younger age.
Many horror films are rated certificate 15 as there can be strong threat and menace (as long as it is not sadistic or sexualised), although the strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable.

- Strong violence
- Frequent strong language
- Portrayals of sexual activity
- Strong verbal references to sex
- Sexual nudity
- Brief scenes of sexual violence or verbal references to sexual violence
