Portrait of God (Short Horror Film) 

Thanks so much Tom! So glad you were a part of it.

100th like and no 2nd comment??

ayo

what did you do? :-)

Do you guys take submissions for short horror ideas

And you know this from personal experience or just movies?

@@joshgrimm8443 Just search for biblically accurate angels. It's in the Bible too. They appear asking people not to be afraid.

The light at the end was beautiful but it felt like angler fish at least that’s what I felt.

Absolutely well done! I was so impressed i got my phone out to write this and gives a thumbs up. Excellent!!

@@dead_slime1915 thats what my first thought was also.

I agree. The whole film hinges on the difference between the audience's expectations and what actually unfolds.

@@dead_slime1915 I perceived the Light as the Holy Spirit, which is why she smiled at the end, because she was filled with it during that scene

Exactly my toughts. True horror

I agree. Nowadays that’s all we get. Cheap jumpscares and loud music. Glad I ran into this.

I love that it's so harmless too. Like the creature didn't even hurt her. It was just pure misunderstanding of a cosmic entity.

it was 3 days and 3 hours

@@paulathehobbit It's not, you can literally see where the seconds are in that shot.

3 hours and 3 days my friend 😢

​@paulathehobbit from left to right it's hours/minutes/seconds/milliseconds and clock reads 3:02:59:47 That's 3 hours 2 minutes 59 seconds and 47 milliseconds... lol not 3 days 🤣

Gore is fine but man jumpscares so insanely overused. When the music cut out after the projector screen was gone, there was no generic predictable loud jumpscare sound and that is wonderful

Some see God.Some see the god of this world and its system of things.

Feeling unsettling and creeped out is better than jumpscares and that's how you make horror content.

​@@malte2483🤷😊

No jumpscares my butt

"do not fear me" is repeated more times in the bible than "love god"

@@Imbettadenu Not really. God is as benevolent as He is creative and incomprehensible. He's one of the only deities I've heard of who offers complete absolution of any sin.

@@white_tulip2189 Probably because humans are inclined to fear things beyond understanding like that. I would say that the times "love the Lord your God" are said are said with more emphasis.

“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image”

@@CharlesA2 There has to be something more to the commandment than just ‘don’t make an image about heaven’. God would be contradicting Himself because later He made the Israelites make the Ark of the Covenant, which is a “graven image.”

I interpreted it as the cross bleeding on its own, like the blood of Christ

@@fizzyheart2486 I changed it it's all good, the opps will never know

but she is still grateful at the end, the comments from the others who saw it even talk about it "of course its frightening, that kind of power should be"

it do be like that

Well it makes sense because God is to be feared more than the devil

​@@DD-pb4lj exactly. God created Lucifer, aka Satan, after all. God created everything. His level of power should be terrifying to comprehend.

God in a sense is pure love and good, He appears as a light because no one can see His true face or form. All we do know is man was made in His image, and that is all we will ever know. It is all we need to know.

Yes I noticed that too! I thought perhaps there’s was a third figure there but besides the hand scene, I don’t get that impression.

Depending on how you want to read the opening of Genesis, that may not be too far off. "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was without shape and empty, and darkness was over the surface of the watery deep, but the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the water." "Darkness was over the surface of the deep", "the Spirit of God was moving over the surface". Now you could say God was moving through the nothing, but you could equally say that the "spirit of god" *is* that darkness.

"God is nowhere yet he is everywhere" Thats the meaning, no one knows if god exists or how he looks like, because noone that lives can see him. So if he exists he can be right behind you or everywhere around you.

@@evuniu Yup, omnipresence.

I would not say that that thing was god. Much more that god cannot be seen as such painted by man (if i remember right the reason why this command is is because all statues or pictures of god are false idols because they cannot represent him). Instead the being was a demon meant to test the faithful, through praying for seeing the picture she became jelous, broke gods command and left the path of the righteous. As such the demon answered her prayer and showed here the picture of god in its mouth. I would interpretate it as something akin to that the strongest believers are the easiest to fool if it is the believe in god or a person

Hello, my fellow Pastra-ite 😂

God forbid he not look identical to a human male

I can’t remember, where is this phrase from ?

@@Ky0kka I just made it up, nothing special.

@@Ky0kka mandela catalogue. "Who have I been praying to all this time?"

You have to build up the horror part for that. Which is also shown here. The recordings she played are also referring to how GOD or the entity looks like or how scary it is. This makes an impact on the viewers mind long before he is actually seen.

yes exactly because revealing it too much ends up looking funny sometimes.

2:14 I adore things like this. A background detail that’s just invisible enough that you might overlook it entirely or just assume it’s something else…but then in the next shot it vanishes and you slowly realise that something was behind her the entire time.

Yes, because the unknown is not itself frightening. There are many things I know nothing about and am not frightened by it. What is frightening is to know enough, and yet, at the same time: not enough. So long as we remain in that gap, it takes our center away. But in all honesty, there is not enough you could show me that might frighten me unless it implicated something greater. Just like walking into a wolves den, you suddenly realize what enormous danger you are in. Not knowing when the wolves return, but knowing that they will, is what incentivizes us, what we call fear.

Absolutely.

I like this interpretation but they also did say that most of the descriptions matched, which implies that it might be god but idk tbh

I dont think it was just in her head, 1:59 look behind her to the left then again at 2:25 it's gone

​@@mcfixer9503This is actually a rare case where it can go both ways. Given how different people seem to see the same figure in drastically different ways, it might be an objectively real entity that causes varying psychological effects. For some people, the experience is beautiful, for others it's unsettling and, for a select handful (including the protagonist), it leads to at least temporary psychosis.

God's already there at 1:48 before she even knows it's in the room with her unless her subconscious is doing a "oh he's behind me isn't he?" on her I guess?

pennywise deadlights

He's an all-powerful God, he literally can take any form he wants. Be it a kind, wise old grandpa in the sky or this scary horror creature we just watched

God, being Actus Purus, is an infinite immaterial substance

You are literally surrounded by God (the universe, Reality) and composed of God but you want to see a little Marvel comic book character instead.

well God did create humans in his image, so whatever his "true form" is, it must as least to some capacity resemble a human-like form

ok nevermind after 2 minutes of research, christian theology dictates that God has no physical image and thus being made in his image is just a reference to spirit and likeness

I liked this horror film immensely, but i couldn't see any fear and terror in the young actress' eyes, it's the one thing it has against it...

​@@bryanmerberonio5245probably worked out, considered how she's supposed to be in awe of this "god"

She was amazing!!!

Yeah I don’t think she was supposed to feel terror but pure awe.

And she definitely seemed scared before seeing “it”

In a lot of religions, God's appearance is quite literally something you're physically unable to see. The guy's just a blinding beam of light you can't figure out any kind of shape from.

I loved this portrayal, but my visions of God are quite different. I don't see a singular entity, nor a singular representation. A storm doesn't need to explain itself. It destroys to create.. same as a black hole. What i see is the total of all emotion and cataclysmic creation in a fractal. It grinds and moves on itself in exquisite anquish.

@@atrocious_pr0xy This has always been my feeling as well. Also, our brains are designed with filters in place to prevent our senses from incorporating into our ‘reality hallucination’ entities so overwhelming, so complex, and so unnecessary to our day-to-day survival (hunting, gathering, mating, child-rearing, etc.). Most of us would cease to be able to function so long as they are confronted with a full scan of the ‘God system’. Most humans-indeed-would be traumatised for life, afterward. Like a computer virus, their brains would keep trying to understand what they perceived and lock itself into a recursive feedback loop. Take it from a man who has been trying to part the ‘veil of Maya’ and peer past the ‘reality hallucination’ his entire life, beginning in his teens. I’m 40, now, and have used asceticism (sleep deprivation and fasting), prayer, meditation, hallucinogens/entheogens, and lucid dreaming-separately and in combinations, together. I’ve seen things; I’m even convinced I’ve seen and experienced things I was not meant to perceive. Yet, in 25 years of intense seeking, I have not perceived the Ultimate: the Whole Picture; the framework upon which the fabric of ‘reality’ is woven, nor that which does the weaving. Even with the aid of n, n-DMT I have at best encountered some of the ‘worker bee’-type entities who help manage this structure once it is manifested, but the true creative force remains a mystery.

This isn’t lovecraftian lol

I was reminded of The Colour Out Of Space at the end.

We dont know what happened to her.

@@HansFlamme Don't worry I know Lovecraft xd. Also really cool, although I find that especially when people try doing it in film, it never works as well. Also, in Lovecrafts stories there is almost too much lore once you know most of his stories (Or watch videos of those that do), which kind of goes against that hole fear of the unknown thing. I absolutely love Lovecraft, but its this Genre in its infancy. That being said, when listening to some of his works first-time... Amazing... Just tends to not work that well in film because big tentacle monsters are not incomprehensible, they are big tentacle monsters xd...

@@CitizynKing wow just now seen that after watching multiple times. Great catch. Very creepy detail. It was there the whole time.

Of course it's still there. Lifting the screen will not cause the image to disappear. It just gets projected on the wall.

@@DNTMEE yes of course, but you also see two faint glowy eyes that appeared that weren't there before.

This comment made my day! Thanks so much.

You are part of the problem

i think at first it was truly unsettling but after seeing it overused in every movie, it stopped having that visceral feeling that it must've carried when movies first began putting things like that on rolls of film.@TransferInProgress

Because you’re meant to think “What could do that? What WOULD do that?” It’s a bit overused in horror movies nowadays but a good gory jumpscare still can make or break a film.

​@TransferInProgress that's the purpose of gore It's not supposed to scare you, it's supposed to make you uncomfortable

why would one be scared of god? he's bound to save us all, we shouldn't fear him

It's not necessarily God in one interpretation or another. It might be something mortals can not comprehend, so they mistake it for God. Or it may be that he didn't actually harm her. The good word does say that mortal souls looking upon him while still covered in Sin is not supposed to be safe. So if he gave her what she wanted, to see him, while still alive, and therefore living in sin as all mortals do. She nor others would be able to survive it, let alone safely endure the experience.

@@jordan321able wait, what happens if god kills a person? will the person still have a chance to go to heaven if they ask for forgiveness for their sins? or do they go straight to where they were supposed to go?

@@San-lh8us it's meant to be more abstract. The question of "is this thing God?" is left to audience interpretation.

@@SS-hd5jx No-- it isn't. That's not what that quote means.

Fun fact the angels in the Bible that said “be not afraid” are known as Ophanim and they are described as looking absolutely horrifying. This is why they say this because they have good intentions with the message they carry.

I mean, someone wouldn't have to declare "BE NOT AFRAID" if they looked normal

@@samdaley8484bro this shit had me dead 😂😂

Hoo-woooohw!

Jumpscare is cheap horror, true horror is from what's unsettling, confusing, unpredictable, hope draining and unexplainable.. if a horror movie can carry these themes with a disturbing undertone then it can easily beat 95% of all the horror movies in the market Btw, do checkout Mandela's catalogue and the other side of the box, they're aso RU-vid short movies that has same kind of content and trust me when I say it's definitely unsettling

@@nickeni3050 Oh I know about Mandela Catalogue. I couldn't really get into that due to the extended universe thing it's trying to do, but I still applaud it's quality and effort.

Like a skinny/pale figure, unsettling open smiles, bright eyes and a mix of all these ones. Uncanny Valley plays a huge part on it too.

Indeed

you simple minded people fail to comprehend the fact that god has no "body" of any sorts and doesn't "look" like anything. god is simply the totality of everything in reality, or more simply - infinity. thats all god is. the faceless centre of creation. as above, so below. edit: i think you are confusing "god" (the essence of creation) with a type V civilization alien member.

It's very demonic

I think that was just a reflection from the projector, there’s other lights that look similar in the same shot

@@crimsoncuttlefish8842 no, it’s hours. It goes hours:minutes:seconds:milliseconds.

I should have noticed this. I saw the timer and thought it meant that she had been standing there for three minutes.

I think the green finger nails where a tad bit too much, but it was a marvelous watch nonetheless.

This reminds me of a quote from another horror film, or rather a series, The Mandela Catalogue. A quote from a praying book of sorts where it says: "Who have i been praying to all this time?". I think that summs upp both The Mandela Catalogue and this pretty well.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but what do we have to witness when beauty looks back? What’s the beauty that’s sits within that eye?

@@lianhorvat5744terrible movie dont compare that shit to this

My favorite part about that detail is, the human eye *cannot* be open for 3 hours. It would cause irreparable damage to the eyes to be open for that long, and you can even see just how damaged her eyes *look* in the end. Something about that detail makes it so much more eerie for me

Thought it was 3 days and 3 hours

Actually it's probably a way to interpret the film differently: as a regular horror. If you stare into nothing in total or almost total darkness for a long time, you start to hollucinate, maybe that's what actually happened to her. She listened to the description others did, recorded herself many times in a dark room and stared at a dark picture for 3 hours. She was seeing what she expected to see but nothing was actually there. Basically imagine a painting yourself.

it could also represent the time at which jesus was suposedly crucified, all that 333 thing

Why did she smile tho

@@ahmedman8078 because she saw God

As can be seen when the being opens its mouth, the girl's eyes gradually light up more, which suggests that the being brought its mouth closer to her. Possibly to devour it, see how much it opened its mouth when making contact with it.

@@ahmedman8078 she smiled because her temptation in wanting to know what god actually looked like was granted, thus she felt satisfied. And yes, when I said "satisfied", I meant it in a sexual way, as the creepy being pulled her chin towards its light while she resist the urge (temptation) to look away.

@@Evil_Beauty wtf it has nothing to do sexually. Pleasure goes beyond just sexual ramifications, she was satisfied that she saw what she interpreted as God

I mean there was a little blood at the end

The slow draw of the projector screen revealing the outline remains was more unsettling than any jumpscare. The slight jerk of the head to make eye contact, so well done.

I would put this under cosmic horror with religious overtones. She's not talking about a god, Jesus or anything with a surrounding dogma or traditions.

@@Gafafsg yup, I call that overtones. Just like I say a person can wear a cross to appear religious. We're all entitled to our interpretations right?

@@Gafafsg so would you classify the nun or the conjuring or the exorcist or exorcism of Emily rose as religious horrors just because there were nuns and fathers wearing crosses and casting out demons in the name of God?

Religion itself is horror.

Haha when I read this I thought to myself, "nahhh no way! I would have noticed the figure standing right next to her in the corner!" Then I rewatched it and felt salty. Totally saw those glowing eyes! Hahah loved it! Thanks for those details 😅

Noticed all this stuff one my first viewing of it,and thought I was the only one seeing it cause no one else had commented about all the things happening behind her👌

I am too paranoid and noticed the glowing eyes & the handprint in the first viewing as well. I thought god was already in for the visit while she was asking 'what do you see?' What an amazing film.

Another scary thing is that after she “leaves” the presentation room you can sometimes see a giant face behind her in the dark

If you put your brightness up you’”” be able to see the eyes, the left has an obvious eye socket and glowing pupil while the right is just the socket
