Certificate 18 Guidelines




Follwing in line with the human rights act 1998 , bbfc guildlines concerns do not usually overrule the principle that adults (over 18's) should have the freedom to chose their own entertainment.

Exceptions are in these areas:


  • detailed scenes of violence, illegal drug use, which might cause detriment to public health or morals. this also includes scenes of extreme sexual or sexualised violence that lack any artistic merit and endorse/glamourize or promote any sadistic assults.

  • more explict and graphic images than is necessary or tasteful and which cannot be justified in the context of the film. explict sexual scenes are reservered for "R18" ratings and would be maintained that category.

  • if the material has failed to comply within the law or created by commissioning one to break the law.
