The main audiences for this film were males aged 18-29 and males aged 30-44.
From the user ratings, it's clear that this sort of horror film appeals mainly to males aged 18-29, probably because of the age rating that it is this age and because males tend to watch horror movies more than females.
This target audience would also fit in with the movie that i watched, Nightmare on Elm Street, as the victims within the film are/look within the age group of 18-29 so the target audience would be able to relate well with the characters in the film, therefore making it scarier.
I would give our film a rating of 18. Not only for the fact that our target audience would be 18-29 year olds but also for the fact that the 5 films that i researched all had a certificate of 18. On the bbfc website, the certificate 18 is one that can show "any detailed portrayal of violent or dangerous acts" and as our film is a slasher it will contain those.
