Filming locations for Somewhere Quiet
Barnstable County, Massachusetts
Barnstable County, Massachusetts was the primary filming location for Somewhere Quiet. Cape Cod, situated in the County, served as the source of most of the picturesque shots from the film. The peninsula, which extends into the Atlantic Ocean from the southeastern corner of Massachusetts, with its beaches and dreamy shoreline, served as the perfect setting for the film.
The majority of the movie was also filmed in Contuit, a village in Barnstable. Known for its dense forests, Contuit, served as the perfect location for filming tension-building scenes. The scenes, with the backdrop of the haunting forests of Contuit, wonderfully brought to life the horror aspect of the psychological thriller.
Wellfleet in Barnstable was also used as one of the locations for filming the movie. Like the locations mentioned before, Wellfleet too gives off an eerie charm, something that works wonders for the movie.
The empty roads of Wellfleet at night as depicted in the movie are enough to scare anyone. The location, coupled with the occasional noise of leaves falling and distant unidentified noises coming, makes for the perfect recipe for a psychological thriller.
Boston, Massachusetts
The movie was also filmed in the capital city of Massachusetts, Boston. The place with several locations of historical significance still intact, served as the right mix of eerie and inquisitive requirements for the film. Most of the indoor shots in the film including Scott's family home were filmed at this location.
