The film was shot in New York City and uses famous streets and landmarks of Manhattan to frame a closed slasher story. A group of wealthy high school friends spend a night partying, then are pursued through public places as personal secrets and a past financial scandal surface. Locations move between elite residential neighborhoods and iconic public memorials and park areas, supporting the tense chase structure and escalating revenge motif.

Filming Locations:

East 74th Street

In the Movie

Scene where characters walk along a residential side street, which visually reinforces their neighborhood and status, giving the story an authentic Manhattan feel and preparing transitions to broader city landmarks and the park.

In Reality

The scene was filmed on a short cross street of the Upper East Side between Park Avenue and Madison Avenue, with mature street trees, townhouses, apartment lobbies, and typical sidewalk activity. Its narrow perspective, even lighting, and recognizable avenues are convenient for dialogue and movement between blocks.

800 Park Avenue

In the Movie

Scene where the group is associated with a prestigious Manhattan address, highlighting their privileged status and the social background of the conflict, until events push them into more dangerous public places and a night of pursuit.

In Reality

The scene was filmed at a residential high-rise on the Upper East Side on Park Avenue at East 74th Street, surrounded by classic pre-war Manhattan buildings, doorman entrances, and constant local traffic. The block looks affluent and controlled, creating a stark contrast with the more open exterior locations later.

9/11 Memorial Pools

In the Movie

Scene where characters pass through a recognizable public memorial area, using the open plaza and impressive water features as a visually striking stop that heightens tension by placing them in an open space with limited cover.

In Reality

The scene was filmed at the two square pools in the National September 11 Memorial & Museum plaza, framed by bronze parapets with names and surrounded by a dense grid of trees and office towers. The open space and recognizable design make this a striking and specific Manhattan landmark.

Belvedere Castle

In the Movie

Scene where the story uses a landmark of Central Park as part of the hunting and confrontation space, using elevated views, stone corridors, and nearby paths for stalking, pursuit, and a more tense finale atmosphere.

In Reality

The scene was filmed at a small stone 'castle' structure in Central Park near 79th Street overlooking Turtle Pond and lawns, with terraces, arched openings, and elevated views. Its distinctive architecture and picturesque setting are ideal for suspenseful moments and night setups.

West Broadway and Chambers Street

In the Movie

Scene where the action uses a downtown corner to show movement through the city and rising tension, serving as a transitional point where characters may be separated, pursued, or forced to make quick decisions under pressure.

In Reality

The scene was filmed at a busy intersection in Tribeca/Civic Center with wide sidewalks, mixed-use buildings, storefronts, and constant pedestrian flow. The geometry of the crossing and signs give clear on-screen direction, and nearby transit and traffic create an authentic downtown Manhattan rhythm.
