The Gift

[craig@rewind]

I watched The Gift last night - it is rated 15. I noticed on the Theatrical Trailer it was listed as 18 for the cinema. Then when I listened to the 3 radio spots, the ages were different again! :confused:

Radio Spot One: "Coming Soon to a cinema near you" - Rated 15
Radio Spot Two: "Out now at a cinema near you" - Rated 18
Radio Spot Three: "Out now at a cinema near you" - Rated 18

One of the TV spots says 18 whereas the other 2 say 15!

It is strange that the adverts for the film being out now said it was an 18. Was the certificate reduced for DVD or was it a 15 at the cinema anyway?

The BBFC website doesn't list an 18 rating at all, so maybe the adverts were from the studio based on what rating they thought it would get?

I'm sure it was a 15 when I saw it at the cinema. There were far too many wise-guy kids in the audience making pathetic jokes about the film, especially Giovanni Ribisi's performance :rolleyes: .

Yeah, I'm pretty certain it was a 15 at the cinema as well. In fact, I've just checked Issue 51 of Total Film & the cinema release is advertised in there & it was definitely rated 15.
