What is sanctum?

Sanctum is a holy place or where place where people cannot easily enter in which, in this movie it refer to the Esa-ala cave which is deep down underground and far deep inside.

Sanctum is a story where professional divers found unexplored and underwater cave name Esa-ala in Papua New Guinea. They feel so excited and eager to be announced as the first one who explores the cave. At first, everything is under control and the perimeter underground is at its best control. However when Frank and Judes dive to the Devil’s Restriction (unexplored section), the problem started to occur. Judes died while diving and Frank was blamed for that incident. When they decided to go back to the base camp, a fierce storm develops and this has made them stuck in the cave. They have no other way out but only to find a new way out to survive. Many troubles occurs as they do not believe in other and being selfish. Because of these problems, they finally lost control and panicked. All of the divers died but only one left survived, Frank’s son.

For me, as I watched this movie, I have learnt one most important thing in handling such situation, TRUST. For sure, we need to control ourselves from panicking and stop being such an ignorant. Listen to the expert. They know what best for us especially in such situation. Easily said than done. That is true, as I never face such situation. I even not sure what will I do if this happen to me. We no matter how strong our mentality are, but still we can never fear the forces of nature. What I am trying to point out is, we can never avoid what has God plans for us but remember this, never give up your life as we do not know when we going to die. Fight for our life. That is it.
