Get ready for some truly unsettling scares! Torchlight Studios and Odin’s Eye Entertainment are bringing their new horror-thriller, Noseeums, to London’s prestigious FrightFest for its World Premiere on Saturday, August 23, 2025!
The director and co-writer, Raven Carter, is a young, up-and-coming talent who grew up watching horror films with her family. For her, premiering Noseeums for an audience of passionate genre fans is a dream come true!
A Haunting New Take on Southern Horror
Noseeums promises to be a fresh and biting take on the horror genre, exploring the loss of Black land rights in the contemporary South. The story follows a college student named Ember, who goes on a weekend getaway with her friends. The place feels strangely familiar and unsettling, and things get seriously spooky when she finds an unkempt grave in the woods.
Soon, Ember is plagued by “noseeums,” vicious, nearly invisible black bugs, and starts having terrifying premonitions and chilling flashbacks. She discovers a shocking lore about the land as restless spirits seek retribution for past crimes. It’s a gripping story where Ember embarks on long-overdue vengeful acts, and it’s already drawing comparisons to modern classics like Get Out and Candyman.
The Premiere & Q&A
Don’t miss the World Premiere of Noseeums at the famous ODEON Luxe Theatre in Leicester Square. Following the screening, a Q&A session will take place with director Raven Carter and writer Jason-Michael Anthony. Get your tickets now for FrightFest!
Reb Braddock, the Executive Director of Torchlight Studios, shared his pride, saying, “As a horror film festival enthusiast, I am proud to see our debut feature… in the Official Selection at FrightFest London… for its World Premiere.”
Michael Favelle, CEO of Odin’s Eye Entertainment, also believes the film is something special, stating, “NOSEEUMS delivers more than scares, it carries a cultural heartbeat that’s as compelling as its horror.”
So, it sounds like this is a horror film you won’t want to miss! This impressive debut feature from the Austin, Texas-based filmmaker is sure to create a buzz! Take a look at the first images and keep an eye out for the trailer, which is set to be released soon.
