The BBFC are (or were) mindful that films in the cinema are a one-off sequential viewing, but in the home might be watched in an unhealthy way ie repeatedly looking at a particular very violent scene.
I think their view was young people (especially) could be corrupted by material that fed into criminal ideation - so home media was either cut more or got an adult classification.
- implements 4y agoFound the guidelines: Release format: Classification decisions may be stricter on video works than on film. This is because of the increased possibility of under-age viewing as recognised in the Video Recordings Act (see Annexe), as well as the increased possibility of works being replayed or sections viewed out of context. Accordingly, a video work (either packaged or online) may occasionally receive a higher classification than on film, or require new or different cuts. (Video works may also receive a higher classification because they contain additional content.)
