The Platform/El hoyo es una fábula de terror que utiliza la comida como metáfora para criticar el sistema social actual y la falta de un reparto equitativo de recursos limitados. En ella, el monstruo deriva de las reacciones de los propios personajes al verse excluidos de los escalafones más ricos de la sociedad carcelaria que habitan. Ante esta situación, se plantean diferentes reacciones: la lucha individual por la supervivencia, las tentativas de concienciación social y el intento de revolución social. La historia da al espectador la oportunidad de realizar estas reflexiones morales utilizando el terror como plataforma para ello, pero sin llegar a una conclusión firme de qué camino se puede seguir para conseguir un futuro que se aleje de dicho género. En este artículo se analizan las implicaciones de las acciones de los diversos personajes, utilizando referentes literarios y sociales, poniendo especial énfasis en el uso de los alimentos por ser el eje principal que motiva y mueve a los personajes a la vez que crea dilemas éticos.
