Very promising until the last scenes, rushed ending and many questions left unanswered. Think of The platform as lifes "Pyramid" system to which we all play a role … I am giving it a solid 7. Even a fantasy love scene between Goreng and a mysterious mute woman (Alexandra Masangkay) zooms in on their tongues.Unlike Trimagasi, who was forced into the tower for killing a man — just an illegal immigrant, he shrugs — Goreng volunteered for a six-month stint. After a few disorienting fake-out reveals, audiences have learned to doubt what they’re seeing, which is probably the point. This scene is really the end, even if it is not the end."

As they eat more than they need, the buffet deteriorates rapidly and by the time it reaches lower levels, there's no food left and people are starving and dying. So much more than horror.
