Veronica – Orginal Official || Trailer – Prason Bista || Ft.SANDRA ESCACENA
Verónica is a Spanish supernatural horror film directed by Paco Plaza, who is best known for his work on the *REC* series. The film is loosely based on a real police report from 1991 in Madrid, which documented a young girl’s mysterious death after allegedly using a Ouija board.
The film centers on Verónica (Sandra Escacena), a teenage girl living in Madrid in the early 1990s. While her mother works long hours, Verónica takes care of her younger siblings. One day, during a solar eclipse, she and her friends decide to experiment with a Ouija board in an attempt to contact Verónica’s deceased father. The session goes wrong, and Verónica begins experiencing strange and terrifying supernatural occurrences.
*Verónica* is known for its tense atmosphere and its effective use of paranormal horror tropes. The film skillfully builds suspense through eerie visuals and sound design, culminating in an unsettling and emotionally resonant conclusion. The story focuses on Verónica’s gradual unraveling as the haunting intensifies, with shadowy figures and demonic presences threatening her and her family.
Despite being a fictionalized account of real events, the film has garnered attention for its connection to the “Vallecas Case,” one of Spain’s most famous supernatural incidents. *Verónica* was well-received by critics and horror fans alike, praised for its performances, particularly that of Sandra Escacena, and its ability to craft genuine scares without relying on excessive jump scares or gore. It has gained a reputation as one of the scariest films on Netflix at the time of its release.
