Review of The Platform (2019) by Hellholehorror — 16 Feb 2022

This does have a lot of promise and interest. On the positive side it’s a high-concept social experiment horror, on the negative side I just can’t get over the broken socio-economical reasoning and lack on physics! These are the exact same issues I had with Cube (1997).

You really want to understand the reasoning of the characters and the people that built the facility but it’s left so open and so illogical from any view that you become disconnected and ultimately lose interest before the conclusion.

For The Platform I would say that the ending is especially disappointing and no matter how much thought I put into it I cannot work out what on earth they were getting at. Maybe it got lost in translation.
