Woman in Black racked in 134 complaints over wrong certification!

After researching a little deeper I came across a little case-study centred around our number one inspiration - The Woman In Black.
Personally I was shocked to find the bbfc had rated the woman in black a 12A, especially after I had witnessed the movie myself. Evidently 134 other people had a similar reaction! The bbfc was required to increase the rating up to a 15 and review its 'horror rules'

This is a clear consequence of grading a film the wrong certification, which shows its's extremely important to accurately label a film and not just based it on the 'criteria' that the film itself would meet, but also the short-term and long-term affect it will have on the audience allowed to watch the material.

Here's the link to the article, but I've screen-shotted an extract for quick readers.
