Media regulation is a highly contentious issue today, with more and more people consuming media is very different ways. In its essence, media regulation is narrowing the audience that can consume a certain media piece based on primarily age, but some other factors can also come into the equation.

The BBFC are the main regulation/censorship body in the United Kingdom.

They also help segregate horror films into different sub-categories, to show and exemplify the differences between them. The theories that I'm going to speak about today relate specifically to the audience and how they react to films.
