Question 1

Why was the vacation home in The Luring used for filming?

Accepted Answer

The small vacation home was owned by writer/director Christopher Wells' parents. When his stepfather passed away, his mother could no longer afford the property taxes and planned to sell it. Wells asked to shoot a film there as a send-off, initially planning a short film based on the first scene.

Question 2

How did the crew handle the constant rain during the 22-day shoot?

Question 3

Which lake scene was shot in a single take?

Accepted Answer

The lake scene with Garrett and Claire was shot in one take. Due to consistent rain, the crew had only a brief moment of sunshine, so they set up a dolly and got it right in one take. After calling cut, it started raining again.

Accepted Answer

The last time the balloon is seen entering the house, it was wrangled with fishing line by director Christopher Wells and production designer Keenan McCarthy. They walked the balloon in and out of the house; no computer-generated images were used—it was a real prop.
