The BBFC is the british board of film classification, they view films, games, etc and define the audience that is suitable for the moving image. All moving images have to be classified by the law and there is different classifications for different content in films.

Uc- This certification is given to films which raise no concerns and can be shown to kids whatever the age.

U- This certification means that it may raise slight issues yet it is still suitable for children of 4 years and over.

PG- This certification means that for children of 8 years and over it shouldn't raise any problems yet younger children may find some scenes distressing and it is up to the parent to decide whether it is suitable or not.

12a- A 12a movie means that a child of 12 years and over can view that film and it will be fine for them, yet no one younger than the age of 12 can view it without an adult yet with an adult it is up to them to decide whether the film is suitable and it is their responsibility.

12- This means that a person under the age of 12 can see this movie.

15- This classification means that no one younger than the age of 15 can see this movie.

18- This classification means that no one younger than the age of 18 can view this movie.

R18(restricted)- R18 means that this film can only be shown in licensed cinemas or supplied only in licensed sex shops and can only be bought by a person of 18 and over.

The thriller genre is usually give an age classification of 15 and above as most thrillers have a violent and psychological nature which may distress younger children.
Shutter Island, No country for old men and Se7en all come under the thriller genre and all come under the " 15 and above" age classification.

In shutter island it is given a classification of "15" this is because there is a violent nature to the film and most scenes have a psychological issue to them.

No Country For Old Men has a lot of violence in it yet is is still a 15, with murderers suffering from psychological issues and violent and horrific ways of killing are used, with a lot of blood. Yet the film hasn't got any other issues like drug abuse or torture in it.

Se7en

Se7en is classified as an eighteen as it has violent scenes, it has a lot of blood and torture is portrayed most of the time as one by one the victims die. What makes seven an eighteen compared to the other two films which are 15's is the fact that it is more psychologically ensnaring and shows torture.
