Malignant Filming Locations
The production for the horror film commenced in California on September 24, 2019, and wrapped up in about two and a half months, on December 8, 2019. Most of the events in the film unfold in indoor settings. Although the cast and crew finished filming before the COVID-19 pandemic took over our lives, the details about the production were kept under wraps for a long time. However, here is what we know about where the movie was filmed!
Los Angeles, California
Despite being set in Seattle, ‘Malignant’ was filmed in Los Angeles, California. LA is home to state-of-the-art film and television production neighborhoods with lush locations and readily available skilled technicians. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that directors from all over the world flock to the city to pursue their projects. The state of California also revises its film and television tax credits from time to time to boost film and television production.
Due to the cutting-edge infrastructure and availability of locations that can be passed off as other cities, Los Angeles is a destination preferred by many filmmakers. Especially neighborhoods without high-rise buildings are used to stand in for innumerable places, as such areas can be portrayed as small towns or vibrant cities. From romance to horror or visions of dystopia, the mecca of cinematic productions has seen it all since its formative days in the early 20th century.
