YouTube filmmakers are gearing up to start production on a religious horror film titled 'It Visits Me', inspired by the viral success of Markiplier's 'Iron Lung' and the recent sales of 'Portrait of God' to Monkeypaw. This psychological horror film, directed by Cameron Gallagher and produced by Jeremiah Lewis, is set to captivate audiences with its unique take on the genre. The story centers around Layla, a young woman who finds herself trapped in her childhood home, where her sister, Abigail, claims to be visited by an angel. The film stars Sara Hallisey and Hayley Gasbarro, with a special appearance by Toby Poser. The cinematography is handled by Adam Muro, known for his work on 'Claws' starring Thomas Middleditch and Jess Weixler. Gallagher and Lewis, who have collaborated on multiple YouTube horror shorts, are positioning 'It Visits Me' as a slow-burn psychological horror, similar to 'Saint Maud', 'The Lodge', and 'Possession', with a strong emphasis on the religious horror subgenre. Gallagher, the writer-director, shares his fascination with religious horror, stating that it's the scariest subgenre, allowing him to create both terrifying and satisfying character-driven narratives. Lewis, the producer-writer, adds that they are drawn to stories that explore the psychological impact of being thrown out of one's comfort zone, creating a space for personal horror. This film promises to be a must-watch for horror enthusiasts, offering a blend of suspense, religious themes, and deep character exploration.
