The BBFC has officially rated Predators a 15 in the UK for “strong violence, gory images, language and sex references”. It was passed with no cuts made. Both AvP and AvP Requiem were rated 15 here but all previous Alien and Predator movies were originally rated 18.
Thanks to Darkoo for the news.
Still, I'm glad Predators is a 15. An 18 rating would really hurt its box office income.
things that make movies 18's in the UK is generally Torture, Graphic Sex, or Detailed Drug Use, anything less will generally be a 15
Hopefully the movie will be good, fingers crossed, oh and the run time is ok for this time of movie.
What you can get away with showing today is different to a few years ago, especially in the UK and by looking at the International trailer, that itself looks 18...e.g, Predator ripping the spine out is prob the most gruesome scene of that kinda killing in all the 3 Predator movies.
Ive also noticed when the Alien movies are shown on tv, their rating has been lowered to a 15...
So im not really worried
Also, these days 15s are hardcaw over here.
