• SPOILER: At the end of the movie Ben is rescued by a young couple in an orange and white Kombi van (in the US this is known as the Volkswagen microbus). This pays homage to the real-life Peter Falconio and Joanne Lees on whom this story is partly based. Peter obtained an orange and white Kombi van for the couple's planned trip through Northern Territories. Peter has never been found after Joanne claimed they were assaulted in their van by a mysterious Outback traveller.
• The film had only a 5 week shooting schedule; the entire project had to be shot within 25 days.
• The film was shot entirely chronologically.
• At one point during the shooting of the scene where Mick (John Jarratt) is torturing Kristy (Kestie Morassi) whilst Liz (Cassandra Magrath) looks through the window, director Greg Mclean wanted to get a shot of Cassandra's POV, so he cleared the crew out of the shed in which the scene was being shot, leaving only the two actors inside. When he called action, they began playing the scene, however, after a minute, Mclean became convinced that Jarratt had gone too far and that Morassi's cries for help were genuine. He burst into the shed only to find both actors stunned at the disruption. Morassi was fine - it had simply been the intensity of her performance which had fooled Mclean.
