Restricted - "Admittance restricted to persons 18 years of age and older. Content not suitable for minors. Contains frequent sexual activity, brutal/graphic violence, intense horror and/or other disturbing content."

This is the most heavily restricted category in common use by Alberta Film Classification-no one under the age of 18 may be in the theatre under any circumstances.

A small percentage of all films released in the Province receive this rating, and these films contain the most graphic violence, sexual violence, or other disturbing content that is available to moviegoers.

Films such as Mad Cowgirl (2006) and Tokyo Gore Police (2008) represent the range of graphically violent or sexually violent material in this category.

Disturbing content, combined with sexual activity and violence can be seen in Lust, Caution (2007), Karla (2006), and Wicked Lake (2008).

Unsimulated sexual content is relatively uncommon and can be seen in films such as Shortbus (2006) and Waltz With Bashir (2008).
