Someone at the IMDb B: TLV forum posted a little more info about the rating that the movie received in Britain (Note: it contains some spoilers):

This is from the BBFC website under the extended info.

BLOOD - THE LAST VAMPIRE is a film adaptation of a Japanese anime about a female vampire searching for her nemesis, the Onegin. The film was classified ‘18’ for strong bloody violence.

The main vampire character repeatedly uses a sword to dispatch various creatures, including other vampires and winged monsters. The violence she inflicts often occurs in a rapidly edited flurry of blows without a focus on injury detail. There is, however, a large quantity of blood in evidence, which sprays from wounds in huge spurts with the strongest moments including the severing of a man’s arm and all of another man’s fingers, plus the close up sight of a sword piercing an eyeball. These moments were felt to fall under the term ‘the strongest gory images’ which, under the BBFC guidelines, are unacceptable at ‘15’, while not exceeding the bounds of the ‘18’ category.

The film also contains one use of strong language, amongst some milder language including ‘p!ss’ and ‘b!tch’.

I edited the naughty words for those with delicate sensibilities. ;)
