Horror Certificates


Examples of 15 rated horror films:

  • Insidious
  • Conjuring
  • Scream
  • The Strangers

The vast majority of Horror films are rated 15 as this allows a larger profit margin for film producers. This is because more viewers will be old enough to see the film which greatly increases ticket sales. Although there are some productions rated 18 such as the SAW franchise they primarily rely on the Gore and violence to attract more viewers by word of mouth which is appealing to older aged audiences. 

The difference between 15 and 18 rated movies can vary but it mostly means that the film is more likely to include stronger violence, horror and gore which means that the film is far worse, however the 15 rated movies will draw better audiences as they can appeal to younger age groups.
