• The film uses the same filming technique as Avatar.
• The film is based on a real event that happened to Andrew White, the co-writer of the screenplay. Once, Andrew and 14 other people were cave diving when the entrance to their cave collapsed. For two days, Andrew and the other divers searched for another way out.
• Translated from Latin, 'sanctum' means sacred, and from English, it means sanctuary.
• The verses recited by Frank (Richard Roxburgh): "In Xanadu did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure-dome decree, Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man, Down to a sunless sea," are the first stanzas of the poem by the English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, “Kubla Khan, or, A Vision in a Dream” (1797).
