Thursday 14th August 2025, London, UK: Torchlight Studios and Odin’s Eye Entertainment are delighted to announce horror-thriller NO-SEE-UMS will have its World Premiere at FrightFest London – The Dark Heart of Cinema, on Saturday, August 23, 2025, at West End’s famous ODEON Luxe Theatre in Leicester Square followed by a Q&A with Director and co-writer.

“I grew up watching horror films with my family and it was one of the things we could all enjoy together. To be able to premiere NO-SEE-UMS with an audience of passionate genre film lovers is a dream come true” says Raven Carter, director and co-writer.

NO-SEE-UMS, filmed in Florida (USA), is a fresh take on the horror genre exploring the loss of black land rights in the contemporary south.

When college student Ember is invited to join her white friends for a fun weekend at the country home of school Queen Bee Abigail, she finds the place unsettling and oddly familiar. Drawn to an unkempt grave in the backwoods, Ember begins to be plagued by buzzing, biting, vicious almost invisible, black bugs known throughout Florida as Noseeums. Along with this constant irritation, she starts having premonitions of grisly death and bewildering, chilling flashbacks. Soon, the shocking lore of the land becomes clear as restless spirits seek a festering retribution for past crimes, and Ember embraces long overdue vengeful acts.

The biting horror-drama, NO-SEE-UMS, has already stung horror experts with comparisons to GET OUT and CANDYMAN, recognizing the impressive debut feature Hailing from Austin, Texas, the twenty-six year old MFA graduate of Florida State University (FSU) College of Motion Picture Arts, Raven will be in attendance at FrightFest, alongside Writer, Jason-Michael Anthony, in presenting the feature and participating in a Q&A following the screening.

“This is the first feature film from Torchlight Studios, produced in collaboration with FSU:” “As a horror film festival enthusiast, I am proud to see our debut feature, NO-SEE-UMS, in the Official Selection at FrightFest London, a prominent horror-genre driven festival, for its World Premiere.” Reb Braddock, Executive Director – Torchlight Studios.

Representing Worldwide Sales Rights, Michael Favelle of Odin’s Eye Entertainment had the following to say: “NO-SEE-UMS delivers more than scares, it carries a cultural heartbeat that’s as compelling as its horror,” says Michael Favelle, CEO of International Sales company Odin’s Eye Entertainment. “Raven Carter’s storytelling blends atmosphere, urgency, and authenticity in a way that will resonate not just across America, but with audiences worldwide.”
