Houses used for interior filming were at the cul-de-sac in Cuddington, Cheshire, while woodland and green were used for exteriors on the same street. A drive was used to hold a light by a crane for the scene when characters Nick and Yun Ho walk into the forest. Houses were used as green rooms and filming. On one evening, heavy rainfall halted production for 2 hours. Film equipment was protected under the tree on the green after each days work. Equipment that didn't go back to base was stored in the gardens of some of the houses. The local Northwich news paper reported information incorrectly.
With a view to sustainability and the preservation of green space, the production hired 50% of the costumes and sourced others from charity shops. Props and materials were also reused to minimise waste.
