Film Rating by Mark Reddie

For the opening sequence that we have shot, I would rate it as a 12A. This is due to the lack of violence and swear words, but the violence that is suggested in the film which parents may or may not want their children watching. However, there is not enough shown so that older children, becoming teenagers should not be allowed to see it on their own out of their own free will.

It is only a 12A as my film opening is targeted at teenagers/children around this age that would be interested, due to the recent uprise of supernatural films, especially vampire films, that are targeted at people of this age. Two examples of this is Twilight and The Woman In Black. They are both to do with the supernatural and have done very well in the box office, with revenues of $3,344,717,264 and $127,730,736 respectively.

This film rating challenges the typical conventions of a thriller, as most are usually 15s or 18s. However, unlike typical thrillers, this has significantly less violence in, and violent language is not used in it. There is no nudity, either. These three things, the prior two more so than the latter one, are typical conventions in a thriller, which is why they have such a high age rating.
