Viral Short Horror Film Portrait of God Gets Feature Length Movie Starring Chase Infiniti

A viral short horror film titled "Portrait of God" is set to transform into a full-length movie starring Chase Infiniti. The YouTube-famous video, created by Dylan Clark, focuses on college student Mia Reilly who rehearses a presentation on a mysterious image of a painting, believed by some to depict God. Despite the simplicity of the image, viewers have reported seeing a figure in the darkness, usually described as a "wrinkled, skinny" man.

Chase Infiniti, known for her breakout role in "One Battle After Another," is set to star in this adaptation. Lionsgate Studios, along with Sam Raimi and Jordan Peele of Ghost House Pictures and Monkeypaw, will produce the film. This marks the first time Raimi and Peele will work together on a project.

The film's success has been remarkable, with over 10 million views since its upload four years ago. Although a previous attempt by Universal to adapt the film fell through in early 2026, the current setup appears more stable. Lionsgate's Adam Fogelson expressed enthusiasm about the creative team, stating that they have the necessary ingredients for a film that is "haunting, thought-provoking, and scary as hell."

Clark expressed his own excitement about the project and about welcoming Chase Infiniti to the team, praising her performance in "One Battle After Another." The film joins the ranks of successful indie horror movies adapted from internet content, including "The Backrooms," "Obsession," "Siren Head," "The Mandela Catalogue," and "The SCP Foundation."
