Elements Bits: Sanctum

Cast:

Richard Roxburgh - Frank
Ioan Gruffudd - Carl
Rhys Wakefield - Josh
Alice Parkinson - Victoria

A group of explorers goes on an expedition to unlock the secrets of the intricate cave network of the Esa’ala, Papua New Guinea … (In the movie it is depicted as the largest cave, but it is actually the Cave of Swallows in Mexico that is shown in the film, and in reality, the largest discovered cave is in Vietnam named Hang Son Doong.)

The suspense starts when a typhoon hits the island and the group is trapped hundreds of feet below the surface as water starts to fill the caverns. They now must venture deeper into unexplored areas in order to find a way out. They also had to deal with occasional disorientation since it has been days when they last seen the sunlight and the thin air only makes you more incoherent.

Frank must now keep the group together and make critical life and death decisions in order for the remaining explorers to survive, which includes his son, Josh. Will he succeed?

Elements Bits number 1:

Adventurous. Taking it to the limit. There are so many extreme things that you wish you could do; skydiving, mountain trekking, scuba diving, base jumping, and many more. But for some apparent reason, you just can’t.

Is it Fear? Being precautious? Is it something that you wouldn’t just want to risk your life on? For some extreme junkies, this is the life for them. As the saying goes, you ain’t livin’ if you don’t live life to the fullest. Life can be about taking risks. They would always say, there is no harm in trying, else you might regret not doing it later on.
