The location was tough. It was another one of those independent moments where you’re riding around in Canada. We were there because we wanted the tax credit. We live up in Northern California, and we really wanted to set the stage for Napa. It was my first time in Vancouver, and I told Roxanne, “None of this is working.” Believe it or not, we looked at seven or eight locations, and finally, the driver, who was driving the van, said, “I don’t want to butt in, but there’s this one location called Fox[glove]. I think it’s what you keep pitching everyone.” He drove us over there, and we were beyond blessed. We drove down the driveway of the place and I said, “Oh my God.” It had the baby angel statues and one of the rings had broken off. It just kept getting better and better. Right when I walked in, I remember Daniel Pearl, the cinematographer, looking at me and shaking his head. I said, “What do you mean no?” He said, “It’s too small. The house is a hundred years old and we’ll never be able to get the cameras in here and shoot the scenes.” But, I said, “This is it.” So, yeah, we changed the script — a lot — to fit the house. I just fell in love with the place and thought it was a beautiful and creepy location that went with the story. Even in the trailer, you hear Charlie say that the house has been in his family for a hundred years. So, you can’t beat that. It was so good that we named the house Fox[glove], which is the name of the real location. — Director Deon Taylor told the Hollywood Reporter.
