Like the films that inspired it, this story unfolds almost entirely within a Gothic mansion. In this case that building was a composite of an 1890 revival property outside Boston, a soundstage, and Ames Mansion, an historic site in Massachusetts (Also used in SHUTTER ISLAND (2010)). But we do get a brief taste of Modernism, via the home of  Chris Evans’ Hugh Ransom Drysdale. The International Style property was built by Walter Pierce as his family home, and he lived in it for 55 years.
