most film certificates for this genre tend to be 12A rated films (PG-13) , this is because the films , however scary they are , don't have much gore or sexual scenes and violence in them. For example sixth sense and the woman in black.
This however does cause quite a stir in the audiences , with much criticism for the woman in black in particular, as they felt the film was too scary and horrifying for children to watch . This divides many films, in terms of what to do about this , because if they abide by the rules , then they must be classed as a 12A, however they don't want to upset audiences by allowing children to see this , again though , do you want to cut out a big market by classing it as a 15? the devils backbone for example is classed as a 15, but could easily pass as a 12A,.
if we were going on the standard rules and regulations of the BBFC , then i would class our film as a 12A , due to there been only moderate violence, that we don't dwell on , so there's no need for a 15. and no sexual content, drug use, or adult themes. We may however have the use of infrequent bad language, pushing this up to a 12A.
