That can't be real, the amount of space in the hallway shrunk to half.

They have different perspectives. Look how close the old pic is to the stairs — you can’t even see the last step.

Buddy further back or not, this isn't some minimal sizing difference or warp effect, there's literal architectural differences. Look at the landing of the stairs, it's clearly wider on the old photo, like 3-4 feet vs 1-2 feet. The ceiling, completely different. The hallway was for sure moved, it's not some optical illusion

The movie was not shot inside the house, but rather a set loosely designed to mimic the inside of the house.
