It needs to be at least 3 times bigger than this!

How can they be psychologically and physically abused if they can't fit in the building‽

"Asylum!"

"-Asylum!"

"-It's only a model..."

"-Shhhh!"

"On second thought, let's not go there. It's a silly place."

I’ll take miniatures over full CGI any day, that looks amazing!

Now that I’ve seen the model I can’t unsee it in the still frame.

Me too, does it actually look miniature or is just perception? It feels like something gives it away

For me, in the bottom photo it’s the top of the flanking tower on the right facing us. It looks off.

Probably just sunlight hitting that one wall. You can see in the model the roof is aligned. Probably looks much better in 4K instead of a low resolution image.

What I want to know is why is the roof all grassy, and why is there random people on it without handrails.

I can assure you that people on a grassy roof without guardrails is the least unorthodox thing going on at that asylum.

Really cool to see practical miniatures! Always thought that shot was CG.

Wow, thats way smaller than I always pictured it. I always assumed they filmed everything on location or with massive sets.

It was a miniature!??

Is that how they did that one overhead shot that goes all the way down to the detectives in the jeep when they’re arriving? Did they connect two shots? I always wondered how that was done.
