Thriller films and classifications

For this post i will name three thrillers and why i feel they are classified as that age rating.

The Sentinel - 12A

This film was rated a 12A in the eyes of the BBFC and i feel that this is because that this film doesn't feature any nudity and includes next to no foul language. It wouldn't be rated anything less because it still includes weapons, crime and violence in it.

Shooter - 15

This film has been rated a 15, this is because of the violence, shooting, crime, foul language and nudity. The film (About conspiracys) could become a bad influence on the younger ages and so the age was set to 15.

The Happening - 15

This film, which involves people killing themselfs, would be rated as a 15 as even though it has no nudity it still has violence, bloodshed and disturbing images.
