Of Unknown Origin (1983)

I am currently reading the book They Came From Within: A History Of Canadian Horror Cinema by Caelum Vatnsdal, so I've been on a bit of a Canadian horror kick lately.  I've already covered locations for several of the films mentioned in the book, including Black Christmas (1974), The Gate (1986), Killer Party (1986), Happy Birthday To Me (1981), Ghostkeeper (1982), Prom Night (1980), Night Of The Demons 3 (1997), and My Little Eye (2002), but now I can add one more to the list...

IMDB

Of Unknown Origin (1983) is a modern spin on Moby Dick, featuring a man (Peter Weller) and a rat squaring off in a New York City brownstone.  In the movie, Montreal, Quebec fills in for New York City.

According to the book They Came From Within, the office building where Peter Weller's character works was the Alcan Aluminum company office.  Since it was a functioning business, the Of Unknown Origin crew were only allowed to film there on Sundays.  The current Alcan Aluminum office in Montreal is located at 1188 Rue Sherbrooke Ouest, just around the corner from the brownstone featured in the movie.  However, the exterior featured in the movie appears to be the Place Ville Marie, formerly the Royal Bank Tower.

It was difficult for the crew to find a brownstone location for filming in Montreal.  They ended up finding the beautiful Drummond mansion, a red sandstone Victorian mansion built in 1891.  In the early 1900s, it was the family home of Huntley Redpath Drummond.  Shortly prior to the filming of Of Unknown Origin, it had been an ex-drug rehab house.  The house had fallen into disrepair, and by 1990 was considered uninhabitable.  Around 2007, the house was fully restored, and appears to be on the market for $3.3 million.  In the film, Peter Weller's character has a miniature replica of the house in his basement, which gets destroyed during the big finale.

The Giver (2014)

Haven't done a post in a long time, figured I might throw one together really quick.

I watched The Giver (2014) this afternoon.  A majority of the movie was filmed in South Africa, the notable exception being the film's final scene...

The cabin from the ending of The Giver is located in Brighton, Utah, just east of Salt Lake City.  In reality, the cabin is a vacation rental, situated between a lake and a ski resort (Silver Lake and The Brighton Ski Resort, respectively), so you could even spend a weekend there if you're so inclined.  The vacation rental listing even mentions that it was featured in The Giver as a selling point. You can see pictures of the property, including the stunning interiors, in the listing link below.

The entire movie takes place at a secluded house in the middle of nowhere, where five contestants are forced to live for six months while being filmed for a webcast.  In reality, the exterior of the house is square-dance center / campground called the House Of Roth, located in Clementsport.  Interiors were built on a disused indoor fitness center in Burnside, clear across Nova Scotia on the outskirts of Halifax.

The carnival scenes at the beginning were filmed at Barry Island Pleasure Park, located right on Whitmore Bay of the Bristol Channel.  The beach scenes were filmed right in front of the park along the bay.  Pleasure Park opened in 1897 and is still open today, however Wikipedia states that it might be closing for good soon.  The park has been used in other movies and TV shows filmed around Barry, including Submarine (2010) and the TV shows The Sarah Jane Adventures (2009) (the season 3 episode "The Mad Woman In The Attic"), Not Going Out (2006), and Gavin & Stacey (2007).  The popular BBC TV series Being Human (2008) is set in Barry from seasons 3 onward (2011) and has filmed at Pleasure Park.

Bloody New Year - Lifeguard Station

Gavin & Stacey - Lifeguard Station

In Bloody New Year, as the teenagers flee the carnival, they are seen speeding past a Lifeguard Station on the beach, just down the shore from Pleasure Park.  The same Lifeguard Station can be seen in the still above from Gavin & Stacey.

From here, the teenagers head out on a boat, which sinks.  They wash ashore on an island, where they find the Mysterious Grand Island Hotel.  Despite being on a remote island in the movie, this building is actually just a short walk from the Lifeguard Station and Pleasure Park.  If you look at the stills with the Lifeguard Station, the house is located just on the other side of those trees in the background, hidden at the end of Paget Road.  In 1858 it was built as the Marine Hotel, until it changed hands in 1873 and became the Pier Hotel.  In 1894 it became a private residence and is now known as the Friar's Point Guest House.  The house even has a ghost story, which is fitting given Bloody New Year.
