where does hereditary take place

Hereditary takes place in a setting that looks like a typical suburban family home environment near the Utah mountain area, though the movie itself does not specify an exact location within its story. The film was shot in real locations around Utah, mainly in Park City, Salt Lake City, Sandy, and at Utah Film Studios. The Graham family home exterior is a real house near Park City, Utah, in a gated community called "The Colony." Other notable locations in the movie include a funeral scene at Larkin Sunset Gardens in Sandy and school scenes at West High School in Salt Lake City. Despite being filmed in Utah and showing identifiable places, the story's setting in the movie remains unnamed to give it a universal, more terrifying quality.
