Learn all the details of Black Island filming locations in 2021, a new Netflix German thriller movie coming this month.
Since Netflix ramped up production in Germany, the country has provided some big international hits. From thrillers to sci-fi action flicks, and with the company ramping up even more in the middle European country, there are more better things to come. One of such new thrillers is Black Island and we are taking a look at all the place the German movie was filmed.
The Black Island is a thriller movie about a tiny island community with some dark secrets. As a new arrival piques the interest of the young people in town, they do not realize a larger game is at play. The newcomer has a hidden agenda and she is making sure everyone is right where she wants them when the conspiracy comes to the surface, to the surprise of everyone.
Unlike most Hollywood productions European films are confined within the countries they are fictionally located in. That means no going off to Bahamas for an island look set North of German mainland. For Black Island filming locations, multiple places of a real island were used. Here we will let you know how to get to the luscious beach and the amazing looking homes of the island.

Instead of setting the movie in a contemporary suburban background, the writer and director of the film decided on an island. Maybe it was to convey the tight knit community by default or just to so how claustrophobic life can be when people do not trust one another. But the island itself is a character in the movie, or that is what we can glean from all the information.
So, if you are looking for a location to be vibrant and speak in a movie, the scouting and selection process need to be spot on. To bring both the cold and island life, the production team headed North and near the Danish border they found the perfect place, Amrum. Belonging to the North Frisian Islands, Amrum lies on the North coast of Germany and it is a short boat ride from Schlüttsiel Fährhafen.
The filming for the movie began around October 2020 in Amrum island. The primary Black Island filming locations within the landmass was the Nebel municipality. Known for its long and picturesque beaches along with old slopping houses, the place was perfect to set the film in. In the movie itself you can see the beach and the houses prevalent on the island.
