"Three Italians! I remember crying really badly with that when all the films in the projection room are on fire. I remember that also it was a film that when I was really young I could see myself reflected in the younger part of the film. And you can grow with the film, you know. When you become more mature you find a lot of sadness in the story of the old guy while he’s watching at the beginning and the end"

Karma Marx has a despicable bastard for a husband and makes a deal for divorce-IF she performs an exorcism on the house he bought.

She agrees and ends up stuck in the house and the evil husband? DEAD. This was a great take on the locked room mystery and I really enjoy it. It's supposed to be in a series, but I haven't heard anything about a second one=(

"I first saw this in 1995, when I was seventeen. My boyfriend actually left the room because it was too intense; he apparently couldn’t stomach the potent cocktail of Chloe Webb’s screeching and Gary Oldman’s rheumy-eyed menace. Even though the movie was set in a time we couldn’t remember, it mirrored our teen zeitgeist in a lot of ways. We’d just made it through the second wave of punk."

"I was still too young to drive a car when I read James Baldwin's Giovanni's Room. The concept of a devastating and doomed love story - one that was also modern ' hadn't occurred to me. I thought nothing would ever compare to Romeo and Juliet, but Baldwin's story of "the night that is leading me to the most terrible morning of my life" became the saddest love story I know."

Skewed Capitalistic Message
Pacing
The Platform manages to make a room with a hole interesting for two hours, but its downfall is in its blatant moral dilemma. It assumes that all people start at the same level when we know damn well, that is not the case. Overall, it's well put together, but I found the message hard to believe. 6/10
