where was companion filmed

“Companion” (the 2025 horror/thriller) was primarily filmed in New York State, with production centered in Putnam County and Dutchess County.

Main filming locations

  • Putnam County, New York – Key for the remote cabin and lake house setting that most of the movie revolves around, especially the secluded estate where the friends’ getaway takes place.
  • Garrison (hamlet in Philipstown, Putnam County) – The lakeside estate used as the main “cabin” location, chosen for its large, secluded, almost mansion‑like feel.
  • Putnam Valley, New York – Used mainly for surrounding nature shots and exterior scenery around the estate and woods.
  • Dutchess County, New York – Used for the opening and town sequences to give a “middle‑of‑nowhere” small‑town vibe.
  • Fishkill, Dutchess County – Includes the supermarket “meet-cute” type scene (shot at Nature’s Pantry).
  • Beacon, Dutchess County – Provides many of the town exteriors that ground the story in a realistic Hudson Valley setting.

Quick note on other “Companion” titles

There is also a different film titled “Companion” (2021) that was shot in Brenham, Texas , but that is a separate movie from the 2025 New York–shot thriller with the cabin and AI storyline.
