Inspiration for Locations

The cabin in 1981's "Evil Dead" was inspirational for other horror films like the recent "Cabin in the Woods" This was the original cabin, which was in the woods, and the entire film was inside this cabin, and we took inspiration from this by keeping the main parts of our scene by keeping them inside a cabin, and only seeing the outside in the later part of the opening scene towards the end, and just like Evil Dead, it was shot in two different locations, as Evil Dead manipulated audiences into thinking the cabin they used in the woods was the same cabin they used to film inside, which it actually wasn't, and we have done the same with the cabin being o where near the field that we used for the killer to run after the victim. The reason that we chose a small place like a cabin was because it would make sense for the killer's hideout to have some history with their family, just like Evil Dead where the owner was the owner of the book that could raise the dead, and their is unknown history with our killer and the lair that she tortures her victims in, which would of course be explained if this was actually a full film with an entire cast.
"The cabin burned down in 1982. All that remains is part of the fireplace, pieces of the tin roof and some of the foundation."
