DRACULA is a classic 1950s British adaptation of Bram Stoker's vampire novel 'Dracula'. It was originally classified X for cinema release in 1958 (meaning that persons under 16 should not be admitted) and was subsequently classified 15 for release on video in 1997. When the film was resubmitted for cinema re-release in 2007 it was downrated to 12A. This version is rated 12 for moderate gory horror.
Although there is some sight of blood, most notably when a vampire is killed using a stake, there is no emphasis upon blood and injuries. Furthermore, although the film is atmospheric, the sense of threat is moderate and distanced by the period setting and by the familiarity of the story.
No-one younger than 12 may see a 12A film in a cinema unless accompanied by an adult. No-one younger than 12 may rent or buy a 12 rated video or DVD.
