BBFC 18 Age Rating
An 18 certificate means that no one under the age of 18 is legally aloud to watch the film in a cinema or purchase or rent the movie.
An 18 certificate means that only adults are legally aloud to watch it, and this means that you can usually show what you want as adults should be free to choose their own forms of entertainment. However there are a few exceptions, which are in the following areas:
- Where the material is in breach of the criminal law, or has been created through the commission of a criminal offence.
- Where material or treatment appears to the BBFC to risk harm to individuals or, through their behavior, to society – for example, any detailed portrayal of violent or dangerous acts, or of illegal drug use, which may cause harm to public health or morals. This may include portrayals of sexual or sexualized violence, which might, for example eroticize or endorse sexual assault.
- Where there are more explicit images of sexual activity, which cannot be justified by context. Such images would be given an “R18” rating or “Sex Works”.
