Quarantined with ‘The Platform’ a Horror/Thriller that Somewhat Parallels the Pandemic
It’s dark, uncomfortable, and there are things that don’t make sense.
Örstutt Jól
It is the night before Christmas and all through the decrepit school house nothing is stirring, not even a mouse. Well that is not exactly the truth, but what has happened in this weather beaten building in the barren Icelandic tundra is more akin to cruel fantasy than stark reality. A few days ago the participants of an experimental rehab clinic came there in order to cast out their inner demons, stay away from temptation and finally discover a little about their sober selves. That didn’t go quite according to plan, but they discovered Santa was real.
