Netflix’s “Killer Book Club” is a Spanish horror mystery film directed by Carlos Alonso Ojea that is based on the same-named book by Carlos Garca Miranda. It tells the story of a group of eight horror-loving friends who decide to play a costume prank on one of their teachers, which leads to a fatal accident and the teacher’s death. The buddies are threatened by an unknown author who appears to know their dark secret and wants to publish it soon after they make a pact of quiet. The mysterious stalker/writer threatens to upload a horror novel based on them, killing one of them for each chapter.
The eight friends struggle to survive despite their mistrust for one another because any one of them could become the killer or the next victim. Veki Velilla, lvaro Mel, Priscilla Delgado, Daniel Grao, and Iván Pellicer all deliver strong performances in the thriller, which was originally titled “El Club de los Lectores Criminales.” The majority of the action takes place on the university campus as the eight friends are pursued by the masked assailant who is determined to learn their secret and kill them. As a result, it may cause some to wonder whether the shooting of “Killer Book Club” actually took place on a university campus. Let’s put an end to your curiosity about the same!

Toledo, Spain’s capital of the same name province and de facto headquarters of the Castilla-La Mancha autonomous community’s government, served as the location for a sizable amount of the filming of “Killer Book Club.” Utilising various areas of the city and streets, the production team began filming in Toledo. For instance, Toledo’s Hospital de Tavera at C. Duque de Lerma, 2 was changed into the main campus where the main characters attend classes. Moreover, the Convento de San Pedro Mártir was used to record a number of significant scenes that took place inside the university.

‘Killer Book Club’ was also filmed in and around Madrid, the Spanish capital. Many residents and bystanders observed the filmmaker and his crew tape numerous crucial scenes for the movie in La Váctea at Calle de Velarde, 18 in Madrid, throughout the shooting schedule. A number of sequences also make extensive use of locations in Madrid’s Centro neighbourhood. In addition, it was stated that the production team visited the Community of Madrid city of Alcalá de Henares, which is located northeast of the capital city of Madrid.
There have been other films that have made the most of the city’s landscapes for filming, despite the Veki Velilla starrer appearing to include well-known neighbourhood landmarks like the Plaza Mayor, the Puerta de Alcalá, the Royal Palace of Madrid, and Almudena Cathedral. ‘The Others,’ ‘Pieces,’ ‘The Chalk Line,’ ‘The Devil’s Backbone,’ and ‘The Girl in the Mirror’ are a few of the prominent ones.
