Antlers is an upcoming American supernatural horror movie directed by Scott Cooper, and produced by Guillermo del Toro. The film follows the story of Lucas Weaver (Jeremy T. Thomas), a young boy who lives in a small town in Oregon with his father and brother, who discovers that his teacher, Julia Meadows (Keri Russell) is hiding a dark secret.
The setting of Antlers plays an important role in the narrative of the movie. It adds to the overall atmosphere and creates an eerie tone that sets up the plot perfectly. So where was this unsettling setting filmed?
Filming Locations
Antlers was primarily shot on location in British Columbia, Canada, while some scenes were filmed on soundstages at Del Toro’s studio in Toronto.
According to reports from Who Is Filming Vancouver Island?, one of the locations used for filming was Campbell River on Vancouver Island. The crew reportedly set up shop there for a few weeks before heading off to other locations further inland.
While most films go out of their way to hide filming locations or use various techniques like green screens or CGI to create specific settings – quite often shockingly different than where they are based – Antlers didn’t shy away from showcasing its real-life locales proudly.
Vancouver Island: A Land Of Endless Inspiration
Choosing British Columbia as a stand-in for Oregon made perfect sense given how similar both regions’ geography looks; however, working here also offered added value thanks to its unrivalled landscapes and natural scenery: majestic snow-capped mountains that stretch majestically across wide-open vistas; verdant forests teeming with wildlife; rainforest-covered valleys sheltering winding rivers… all provide incredibly unique settings ripe for inspiring stories such as Cooper’s latest mind-bending genre tale.
For example, parts of Victoria were utilised during production due to their historic buildings which allowed filmmakers plenty of flexibility when it came getting creative with camera angles while maintaining continuity between shots given how adapted some areas are to making people feel like they’re time traveling.
Filmmakers also used the city of Hope (located on the Fraser River in British Columbia) as a backdrop for various scenes throughout the movie. In particular, one location cast under an eerie shadow was the historic old cemetery located there. The iron fencing and overgrown vegetation created an especially haunting mood with glimpses of rusted headstones visible among gnarled trees in every shot.
Conclusively…
In summary, Antlers is a film that immerses itself in its surroundings, creating a distinct feeling of unease through its carefully crafted settings and environments – which have been brought to life thanks to rigorous scouting providing perfect opportunities across Vancouver Island and beyond. All painstakingly realised with state-of-the-art production value by Cooper’s visionary attention to detail.
With these gloomy locations contrasting against stunning pristine forests – oftentimes bringing out primordial instincts usually buried deep within our psyche – it’s clear why many experts are eagerly anticipating this film – being directed by not only Guillermo del Toro but Scott Cooper, who is known for his ability to make heart-stopping cinematic moments come alive while utilizing his vast collection of artistic talents (casting excellent actors or actresses; designing a gut-wrenching score etc.).
