Gruff Rhys Intro

A woman has terrifying dreams after a curious stone head is unearthed in her council house garden. Studying the head, an expert in Celtic relics brings it home, only for the women in his house to be tormented with nightmares of a half-man, half-animal creature. One by one the archaeologist’s family are terrorized, leading to anguish, death and sacrifice to the ancient gods. O’r Ddaear Hen&nbsp;(From the Old Earth) was one of the first horror films made in the Welsh language, produced by Bwrdd Ffilmiau Cymraeg (the Welsh Film Board). When it was released in 1981, school children were bussed to see it, thoroughly traumatising a generation. In 2022, Matchbox Cine, in collaboration with&nbsp;<a href="https://abertoir.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Abertoir Film Festival</a>, translated the film into English for the first time, leading to its inclusion in Kier-La Janisse’s&nbsp;<a href="https://severinfilms.com/products/all-the-haunts-be-ours-a-compendium-of-folk-horror-vol-2-13-disc-blu-ray-box-set-hardback-book" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">All The Haunts Be Ours Vol 2</a>&nbsp;box set, for Severin Films. Now fully restored in 2K by Severin Films, with support from Matchbox Cine, from elements provided courtesy of the Bwrdd Ffilmiau Cymraeg/Welsh Film Board collection at the National Library of Wales Screen and Sound Archive.

O'r Ddaear Hen

A group of celebrities are scheduled to appear at a concert in a village hall. An elderly man and his choir of schoolchildren, fearing that the celebrities will steal their limelight, take drastic measures to stop their appearance…by murdering them. Gwaed Ar Y Sêr (Blood on the Stars)&nbsp;was one of the first horror films made in the Welsh language, produced by Bwrdd Ffilmiau Cymraeg (the Welsh Film Board). In 2022, Matchbox Cine, in collaboration with&nbsp;<a href="https://abertoir.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Abertoir Film Festival</a>, translated the film into English for the first time, leading to its inclusion in Kier-La Janisse’s&nbsp;<a href="https://severinfilms.com/products/all-the-haunts-be-ours-a-compendium-of-folk-horror-vol-2-13-disc-blu-ray-box-set-hardback-book" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">All The Haunts Be Ours Vol 2</a>&nbsp;box set, for Severin Films.
