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’) was one of the first horror films in Welsh, produced by Bwrdd Ffilmiau Cymraeg, the Welsh Film Board. Upon their release, the board decided that it would be a good idea to bring children from primary schools to see the film, thoroughly traumatising a generation!

Screening with English subtitles newly commissioned by Matchbox Cine. Please note, these films are presented as they were originally screened for the purposes of historical and cultural interest, but contain outdated cultural depictions/imagery which would be unacceptable to modern audiences.

Double bill with O'r Ddaear Hen.
