Real
Scene was shot in a real, abandoned hospital in Medfield, Massachusetts. They tried to close the clinic several times, but it was only possible to do so in 2003. The hospital included 58 buildings built in different styles - they have already begun to be slowly demolished, since 2013, three buildings already disappeared. Therefore, it is possible that in reality there are no buildings left and it will be no longer possible to visit them.
