• Among the number groups that Stem asks Gray to write down is 23.976. This is a reference to the standard frame rate in cinema.
• Filming began in March 2017 in Melbourne, the hometown of the film's director, Leigh Whannell, and took 30 days.
• During the fight scenes, the camera often tracked Gray's every move. According to the director, actor Logan Marshall-Green had a cell phone with him that was connected to the camera.
• When Jay searches the tenant list for a phone number to call hacker Jay, it is shown that one of the residents is J. Wan. This is a reference to director James Wan. Whannell and Wan both began their careers in film together. They co-wrote scripts for the 'Saw' franchise films, which Wan directed and in which Whannell acted, and also worked on 'Dead Silence' (2006) and 'Insidious' (2010).
• Initially, the film was titled 'Stem' (the name of a microchip with its own intelligence within the film).
• In one scene, Grey reads the pathologist's report on his wife's autopsy. The documents state that she was born in 2008 and died at the age of 38, meaning the film takes place in 2046.
