Not every film needs a sequel. As much as I loved The Platform when it hit Netflix in early 2020, the sci-fi thriller felt like the quintessential one-and-done movie. When a sequel was subsequently announced, I had mixed feelings.

Fast forward to now and The Platform 2 has arrived on Netflix, and after taking a trip back into the pit myself (Side note: I decided to watch during breakfast. Not recommended.), it’s a big one for me I’m happy to say that “The Platform 2” delivers exactly what I expected from a sequel, cleverly building on its predecessor.
