Media Task

The Dark Knight Released 2008 In 2005, the BBFC rated The Dark Knight The rating of The Dark Knight has never changed The BBFC came up with this rating because of the implied threat of the Joker and Batman even though no extensive blood or gore is actively displayed. A key example of this is when the Joker performs a “magic trick” by driving a pencil into the eye of a man. Though the pencil is never seen entering the eye nor is any blood shown, this is the prime example of the film’s threat It’s rating has never changed throughout its cinema runtime and DVD release  The Evil Dead Released 1981  It was originally an X rating  It was changed to an 18 rating  The BBFC decided on this rating because of the strong, bloody violence within the film, specifically in the scene when a woman is held down by a haunted tree and it's branches penetrate her vagina, effectively raping her The rating was changed 13 years later after its film release
