<p>“The movie adaptation of Rumaam Alam's 2020 edition novel of the same name was mostly filmed on Long Island near New York City. The luxurious country house rented by the Sandford family is located in the village of Old Westbury. The area around the house was filmed in a historic park preserve in the village of Lloyd Harbor. And scenes of Tesla, the grocery store, and the deserted roads where Clay wanders were filmed in the village of Katonah.<br /> The vibrant scenery and serene atmosphere of these locations was cleverly used by the production team to create a contrast to the disturbing events taking place in the movie. ”</p>
