Is this supposed to be set in New York City?


After seeing that the filming locations took place in California, I questioned whether or not the film was supposed to be set in New York or not— I've lived there, and the subways and even the street scenes are so obviously not NYC. I know Los Angeles has a subway system, although I've never used it when I've been there. Anyone know why they shot this in LA? It's very clearly not NYC if you're a New Yorker or have even only been there.

It's supposed tone Philadelphia, but nothing is accurate.

"To Be ", not TONE!

The trivia section goes onto explain that the reasoning of shooting in Los Angeles was to avoid "prohibitive costs". In other words, the production was stingy.

The Short Story from Clive Barker definitely takes place in New York.
Im not sure about the movie,because nothing was mentioned about this.

Yeah well, once a movie is made, it is up to the production on how much they are willing to spend on it. If one shooting location is too expensive, they go with the cheaper option and make it "look" like it is what it should be
