Backrooms Aesthetic: Location Creation’s UK Shoot Locations with an Eerie Vibe

Binfield Court brings a British historic interpretation to the Backrooms vibe. It is a huge estate with countless rooms, which makes you feel lost in its maze as soon as you step inside.

It has the potential to become:

• An isolated retreat with mystery and hidden tension
• A heritage property with a dark past 
• A dreamscape reality where time becomes distorted, and spaces shift around (think Inception or Labyrinth)

We would pick these shoot spaces:

• Entrance hall
• Library corridor
• Wine cellar

A vacant hotel (immediately set up for liminal storytelling). It is furnished enough to look like someone lives there, but empty and quiet enough to feel mysterious.. 

We’d recommend it for:

• Suspenseful, psychological thrillers
• Stories that blur memory and reality
• Grungy editorial shoots or music videos

We would pick these spaces to shoot in:

• The entrance and reception
• The dining hall
• The small empty room..

A former underground coldstore for a meatmarket, turned nightclub. When empty, the spaces become something else entirely. With dim lighting set to go, you can already start imagining the endless possibilities for filming. 

We can imagine it for briefs like:

• Stories that feel underground, surreal and disconnected from reality
• Nightmares or mazes that don’t end 
• Dystopian film or a story of a night out gone wrong?

These are the shoot areas we’d pick:

Greengate offers scale and period features that would be perfect for creating a feeling of isolation and tension. It is also surrounded by paddocks and woodland.. 

We would suggest it for:

• Psychological thrillers 
• Period dramas with darker themes (Saltburn 2.0?)
• Creepy visualisers and teaser videos

The spaces we’d choose would be:

• The constables
• The cellar
• The grounds
