Netflix fans left vomiting over revolting cannibal scenes in new horror The Platform dubbed ‘Saw on steroids’
NETFLIX fans had their stomachs churned by one of the latest horror films to drop.
The Platform, made in Spain, was released this month and has already made an lasting impact on audiences across the globe.
The film is set in a dystopian prison where inmates are held in vertically stacked cells.
They are kept alive with a communal table of food which starts fully loaded at the top, with each floor taking as much as they like as it descends.
Unsurprisingly this results in a group of greedy gluttons at the upper levels, while those further down are left to fight over scraps.
In the terrifying trailer for the film we see some ever resort to cannibalism to sustain themselves.
One terrifying moment sees an inmate strapped to the table and sent down to the lower levels to eat.
Horror aficionados wasted no time jumping into the comments section on YouTube in disgust.
"Well there's my appetite gone FOREVER, think I'm gonna hurl," one user wrote, alongside a vomiting emoji.
"I don't have the stomach for this, literally making me heave," a second chimed in.

Taking a more positive tone, a third chimed in: "Haven't been this excited for a horror in ages, looks like Saw on steroids.
While a fourth remarked: "Feel like this is gonna be THE horror of 2020 - bring on the gore!"
The official synopsis for the film reads:"A slab of food descends floor by floor in a prison.
"The inmates above eat heartily, leaving those below starving and desperate. A rebellion is imminent."
This is not the first time that Netflix fans have been left on edge by a horror, with The Hole In The Ground, The Witch, and Within also getting huge attention on social media.
Others were left "too scared to finish" series Ares - which tracks gory cult initiations.
Meanwhile, Dakota Johnson flick Wounds had viewers terrified of their phones after a possessed mobile drove a couple to insanity.
