Research into age certificates

          I looked into some age certificate definitions to research a possible certificate or age rating for our film opening. Here are some examples of other age certificates for popular horror films.
Paranormal activity: 15
Final destination: 15
Saw: 18
Birds: 15
Dracula (1931): PG
Thirteen ghosts(2001): 15
          The majority of horror films I looked into had an age certificate of 15, some of the older ones however had a lower age rating which I think is due to the lack of new technology available at the time of production. Some of the more psychological plots seem to have a lower age rating than the physically gruesome films like saw.

          Overall I feel for the lack of vivid brutality seen in our film opening a (15) age certificate would be suitable.
