Explanation

Frightening elements could for instance be films in foreign languages or films containing scenes where grown ups or children are speaking very loudly or fighting. Media Council recommends that children do not watch movies in the cinema before they are 4 years old. In the darkness of the cinema hall, children under 4 are easily overwhelmed and frightened by the film's light and sound effects.
Medierådet anbefaler, at børn ikke ser film i biografen, før de er fyldt 4 år. I biografsalens mørke bliver børn under 4 år let overvældet og skræmt af filmens lys – og lydeffekter.

Localized Definitions

Approval of the film for admittance of children from the age of 11 ( EN )

Films containing frightening scenes or a touch of horror but without real violent scenes or films, which do not describe violence in detail, will often be placed in this category.

11 ( DA )

Tilladt for børn over 11 år

Reasons and Content Descriptors

Explanation

Children of 11 to 14 are in general good at distinguishing between fiction and reality and are thus able to distinguish between films with imitated, exaggerated or unrealistic scenes of violence and their own reality and life. Furthermore, they are able to deal with sustained suspense. Films such as science fiction, action comedy and catastrophe often receive this classification.

Approval of the film for admittance of children from the age of 15 ( EN )

Young people and adults aged over 15 are expected to possess an understanding of genre and to be able to deal with frightening films.

15 ( DA )

Tilladt for børn over 15 år

Reasons and Content Descriptors

Explanation

Films containing a lot of violence or violence described in detail or violence, which is glorified or legitimated are placed in this category along with other strong films such as pornography. Whether a film is placed in the category of 15 or 11 depends on how realistically the violent scenes are described. If the violent scenes are taking place in a make-believe world the film might be placed in the category of 11 years instead of 15
