- 11. My Movie My movie would have to be rated 15 because it has a high content of violence and gore but it is not too graphic as to be labelled as a 18. The violence comes through is mutable fighting scene where people get badly wounded or even die. The gore comes through in my character of Connor because he goes through a area of the film where he becomes bloodthirsty as a vampire.
