It would qualify as a 18 for the strong violence and the frequent strong language, and more tailored to the horror genre, there will be strong threat and horror in the film. As it takes elements of the slasher genre, it's going to be quite violent so there would be a lot of blood and gore in the story.
There is little to no sexual activities or references to sexual activity, or drug taking or references to drugs, as there is no focus on them in the plot of the movie, but the reasons stated above is enough for it to be rated a 18.
Most horror films have a certificate of 15 or 18 due to the nature of the film, to scare people, therefore they wouldn't be suitable or tailored to young children. The high amounts of violence, blood, harmful or threatening images, sex or sex scenes and sometimes gore make the horror films high rated.
Slasher films are usually 15 or 18 as they contain lots of graphic violence and usually sex scenes as they usually involve young teenagers. Examples of these are Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th, You're Next, My Bloody Valentine, Scream and Psycho.
Psychological films are also around 15 or 18 rated as they manipulate the audiences mind and rely on primal fears to scare the audience, which could be anything, so the film can include anything they want as it's purpose is to scare the audience.
Our target audience is around the 15-25 age range, more specifically college students or university aged students. The age rating is made available for most of the age range, and will draw people in to see, it would also garner attention from people beneath the age rating, as their friends would be in the age range older than 18 seeing the film, to give it attention and feedback to their younger friends.
