Interesting article from the Guardian, it explains the controversy caused by a misjudged aged certificate. 'The Woman in Black' received 134 complaints after being rated a 12 and suitable for younger viewers. It's apparent that the eery scenes were too disturbing for audiences, even though there was very little blood or gore on screen.

The movie has since been rated a 15, as our movie opening has been heavily influenced by the Momentum Pictures product, we will definitely stick with the older certificate.
