Scopophobia, Melyn Pictures' debut horror film, directed by Aled Owen, explores guilt and fear through the lens of four women returning to their Welsh hometown, only to confront a mysterious presence that may know their darkest secrets. With a talented all-Welsh cast, the film premiered at London’s FrightFest 2024 and has since been shown in multiple film festivals worldwide, garnering positive reviews for its authentic Welsh setting and intense psychological themes.
This town is haunted. Not by ghosts. By ghost stories.
The film’s haunting soundtrack, created by Carmarthen musician GG Fearn, enhances its eerie atmosphere, aligning with its exploration of paranoia and phobias in a suspenseful narrative. Shot across Wales and other UK locations, Scopophobia exemplifies Melyn Pictures’ commitment to showcasing Welsh culture and talent on the global stage.

Mae Scopophobia, ffilm arswyd gyntaf Melyn Pictures, wedi’i chyfarwyddo gan Aled Owen, yn archwilio ofn ac euogrwydd trwy lygaid pedair menyw sy'n dychwelyd i'w tref enedigol yng Nghymru, dim ond i wynebu presenoldeb dirgel a allai fod yn gwybod eu cyfrinachau tywyllaf. Gyda chast dawnus llawn Cymry, dangoswyd y ffilm am y tro cyntaf yn FrightFest 2024 yn Llundain ac ers hynny mae wedi'i dangos mewn sawl gŵyl ffilm ledled y byd, gan ennyn adolygiadau cadarnhaol am ei lleoliad Cymreig dilys a'i themâu seicolegol dwys.
Mae rhywun yn codi bwganod yn y dref. Nid ysbrydion. Ond straeon ysbrydion.
Mae trac sain y ffilm, a grëwyd gan y cerddor GG Fearn o Gaerfyrddin, yn ategu ei hawyrgylch iasol gan asio â'i harchwiliad o baranoia a ffobiâu mewn naratif gafaelgar. Wedi'i ffilmio ledled Cymru a lleoliadau eraill yn y DU, mae Scopophobia yn enghraifft o ymrwymiad Melyn Pictures i arddangos diwylliant a thalent Cymru ar lwyfan byd-eang.
