Haunted Portrait takes your source_image (image: Your photo) and analyzes the face, pose, lighting, and framing to build a short animated portrait from a still image.
Instead of treating the whole photo equally, the model gives priority to facial features and nearby details, then adds controlled motion cues that feel unsettling rather than natural.
It may deepen shadows, introduce slight gaze shifts, create faint movement in hair or clothing edges, and reshape the mood toward a horror-poster look.
The AI also interprets background texture and contrast to decide how much atmospheric distortion or visual tension to add, so the final video feels like a portrait that has started to wake up.
