With depressing predictability, given the success of The Platform in 2019 and that Gaztelu-Urrutia, as a fledgling director, obviously has no other strings to his bow, a sequel is rolled out that does nothing but regurgitate the plot of the first film. That being prisoners within an underground complex with hundreds of floors, dependent on the fairness of those on the floors above them to leave enough food for them to take as the platform carrying the food descends through the prison. No more religious, social or political ideas are added, but of course the horror quotient is pumped up even more as if that will suffice as compensation, like so many cover singers believing that stretching a single syllable across several notes and increasing the volume to 10 somehow adds soulfulness.
The Platform 2 will only do for hardcore horror fans who haven't seen the inspired first film, but for those who have, it should be avoided at all costs.
5/10
