During the release of the exorcist there was a lot of serious incidents that were reported, whether it had been by the media or personal experience. There were reports that people were so disturbed by the movie that they were coming out of the cinema and throwing up or fainting. It had got to the point that cinema's were providing sick bags to people that chose to go and see the movie.
The British Board Of Film Classification is the board that decides whether film is suitable for general viewing. In earlier times films were banned for nudity and revolutionary politics, but now the board may have much less of a say whether a film is okay for viewing, although they do have a strong view on sexual violence, more so that they did 30 odd years ago.
Films that are made nowadays can be pretty horrific, i don't think that there should be really strict regulations on these films unless they completely cross the line, but there should be a more strict regulation on the ages of people that are allowed to watch the films, because films along with music and other things contribute to the way children and young adults behave and the way they act in general.
