Our chosen location was a normal house on an average street in a quiet, unsuspecting town. We chose to film at Max's house as the film begins with the girl arriving at the house to babysit. We wanted to create an homely atmosphere as possible to make the story realistic and believable so the interior of the home wasn't changed much.
