After watching our thriller a few times and evaluating it, Nathan, James and myself believe our thriller should be of rating '15'. Our thriller does not have themes that are too explicit; therefore meaning it should not be seen categorized as a '18'. However, it is a tad too explicit for it to be rated '12A', as it had scenes of violence and strong language. To get our rating of the thriller we watched a few other films; Adulthood (15), Saw 2 (18) and WaterBoy (12). We compared our thriller to scenes of each film considering the rating between '12A' and '15', but we realised that the weapon used was too revealing for it to be a 12A. Also, the language used at the end of the thriller was a bit too explicit for it to be a 12A, but too little for it to be a '18'.
Another reason why we believe it should be categorized as '15' is because of the build up of tension throughout the whole thing. As a group we considered whether such a tension would be comfortable or suitable for a younger crowd having to be on the their minds. Furthermore, the ending; showing a sense of revenge could present a wrong type of message towards a mind of a younger audience.
