Trivia
- The film was shot in a relatively short five and a half week shoot, preceded by a month of rehearsals.
- The film had a relatively small budget of P116 million - equal to about €696,000. The peseta ( ISO 4217 code ESP standard abbreviation Pta Pts or Ptas Please update other articles as well to avoid contradiction within Wikipedia e
- Amenábar wrote some of this film while still at University, and that University was the Complutense, as featured in this film.
- One of the teachers who kept failing Amenábar at University had his name used in the film - as the sinister Professor Castro.
- Amenábar's name is visible at one point in the film - on a computer screen listing Sony XT-500 customers. is a multinational conglomerate corporation headquartered in Minato Tokyo, Japan, and one of the world's largest Media conglomerates with (The XT-500 is a video camera which features prominently within the film itself. )
- One of the major plot devices in the film revolves around certain individuals being caught on the school security cameras; in reality, the UCM School of Communications has no security camera system.
- Amenábar correctly exploits the elaborate, rambling quality of the UCM School of Communications. The building's public corridors extend two levels below ground, and there is at least one level below that, in addition to the School parking garage, which stretches far below and beyond the building and has been bricked off (due to structural issues) since the mid-1990's. The layout of the School's cinémathèque as depicted in the film, however, is incorrect; the video library is accessed from the opposite side of that room, from a doorway located behind the main desk.
