The BBFC is an independant company which have classified cinema films since 1912, when the company was first set up. The certificates are U, PG, 12, 15, and 18 and these are given to films depending on what the movie contains. The certificates which I will be looking at are the 15 rating and 18 rating.

Horror Genre Research
Horror films are movies that strive the emotions of fear, horror and terror from viewers. Their plots frequently involve themes of death, the supernatural or mental illness. Many horror movies also include a central villain. Early horror movies are largely based on classic literature of the gothic/horror genre, such as Dracula, Frankenstein, The Phantom of the Opera and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. More recent horror films often draw inspiration from the insecurities of life after World War II, giving rise to the three distinct sub-genres: the horror of personality, the horror of armageddon, and the horror of the demonic.
