Cuts:
The company chose to make cuts in order to achieve a '12A' classification. A number of cuts were made in one scene to reduce an emphasis on blood and injury. These cuts, which were implemented by digitally removing sight of blood splashes and sight of blood on wounds and weapons, were made in accordance with BBFC Guidelines and policy. An uncut '15' classification was available. These cuts were made in addition to reductions already made following an earlier 'advice' viewing of an incomplete version.

violence
There are sequences in which young characters are required to fight each other to the death. This includes sight of characters being stabbed and shot with arrows. In the 15 rated version there is some emphasis on bloody detail, while the 12 rated version features less focus on blood.
threat and horror
There is a moderate sense of threat throughout as the young characters avoid being attacked and killed by other characters. There are also scenes in which characters are threatened and attacked by fantasy animal creatures, some of which resemble wolves. There is an emphasis on the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the central characters as they struggle to survive.
language
There is some very mild bad language, such as 'damn' and 'hell'.
sex
A couple have a relationship. However, this is limited to kissing and there is no sight of sexual activity.
injury detail
There is sight of wounds and blood in the aftermath of violence, including sight of wounds being tended.
theme
Younger children may be upset and disturbed by the idea of young people being required to fight to the death as a form of TV entertainment. However, the film is adapted from a well-known and popular series of young adult books, set in a dystopian future.
alcohol and smoking
Adult characters drink. One character is an alcoholic.
