Leper Village in the movie Prince of Evil: Explore the film set in Da Lat

Film set in the middle of the primeval forest

The first images from the trailer of the movie The Devil Prince have attracted the attention of the audience not only because of the action scenes but also because of the wild and mysterious setting of the Leper Village. Located in the middle of a vast pine forest and often covered in fog, this village is a completely real film set built in a primeval forest in Da Lat.

To recreate the living space of lepers who were shunned during the Later Le Dynasty, the production team built simple houses with bamboo walls, wooden floors, and thatched roofs. The living space of the villagers was also meticulously cared for with details such as vegetable beds, poultry cages, and weaving and hunting tools, creating a realistic and vivid setting.

The intricate and magical details

In addition to the living area, the mysterious settings are also carefully invested. The cemetery is built with two giant stone dog statues and jar tombs, a form of burial of the ancient Vietnamese. Going deeper is the "human eye pass", where the tree trunks are decorated with haunting eyes.

A special highlight is the image of a 10 meter tall sandalwood tree with a rough, dark black trunk, standing tall in the middle of the old forest, contributing to the majestic yet creepy atmosphere of the film.

Facts about the location

The primeval forest chosen as the setting is located nearly an hour away from the center of Da Lat city by car, after which visitors must walk through trails and climb slopes to reach the main location.

A favorable factor for the film crew was the existence of a natural circular clearing, without large trees, which allowed the set to not affect the ecosystem. The filming time during the rainy season (around June) also helped to create a naturally dark, ghostly color for the night and early morning scenes without the need for special effects.

Note on nature conservation

As this is a strictly protected primeval forest area, environmental awareness is a top priority. During filming, the crew followed conservation regulations, ensuring all waste was collected and the forest was left in its original state upon completion. This is also an important note for any tourist intending to explore similar pristine natural locations.
