“People die if the Law is not upheld.” Netflix has revealed the official trailer for the sequel to the hit Spanish lo-fi sci-fi film The Platform from 2019 (it landed on Netflix in 2020) called simply The Platform 2. The first film is one of the best capitalism-is-terrible films of modern times. This continuation is again directed by the same Spanish filmmaker Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia who made the original film (he has been making this in secret for years). As a mysterious leader imposes their rule in the Platform, another resident becomes embroiled in the battle against this controversial method to help fight the brutal feeding system. But when eating from the wrong plate becomes a death sentence, how far would you be willing to go to save your life? Milena Smit and Hovik Keuchkerian star in the second installment of the dystopian sci-fi horror movie, with Óscar Jaenada, Natalia Tena, Bastien Ughetto, and Tadashi Ito. This premieres soon at the San Sebastian Film Festival and Beyond Fest before it’s streaming on Netflix in early October. Damn this looks gnarly! Much more intense and stylish and grosser than the first film. Seems like another must catch sequel.
Here’s the main official trailer (+ poster) for Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia’s The Platform 2, from YouTube:
