Veronica Real Story behind the Netflix Movie!!br What is Netflix’s Veronica movie? Is Veronica a real story?!br br Veronica: Netflix’s ‘scariest movie’ plot, cast and trailerbr br Is Veronica a real story? Netflix's new horror film Veronica dubbed 'scariest ever' is based on a real-life event - trailer and why it's freaking people outbr br br What is Netflix’s Veronica movie?br Veronica is a Spanish movie directed by Paco Plaza, a Spanish director who made the [REC] zombie horror movies. Veronica was released in Spain on August 25, 2017 and on Netflix on February 26, 2018.br br The movie is set in 1991 Madrid and is based on a true story of teenager Estefania Gutierrez Lazaro, who conducted an Ouija board seance at school and subsequently died after experiencing hallucinations and seizures.br br In Veronica, the eponymous heroine is a teenage schoolgirl who takes care of her three younger siblings, while her widowed mother works at a bar.br br On the day of the solar eclipse, purportedly a special time for the occult, Veronica and a friend conduct an Ouija board seance in the hope of summoning their dead father and boyfriend respectively.br br Unsurprisingly, things don’t go according to plan and something other than Veronica’s father reaches out and enters her world. Things only escalate from there.br br Is Veronica really a true story?br The basis for the movie is a 1991 Spanish police report, in which detectives actually mention experiencing paranormal activity. The case became known as the Vallecas case, due to the neighbourhood in which Lazaro reportedly performed the seance.br br The police report is actually real, according to Newsweek, and does mention how police attended Lazaro’s family’s house and witnessed doors and armoires opening inexplicably and the figure of Jesus Christ separating from his crucifix.br br However, while the report is real, Newsweek points out that Lazaro’s family only called the police one year after her death. Lazaro died in hospital in August 1991 and references to ghosts and demonic possessions only began popping up later.br br Newsweek concludes that the ‘actual basis for the plot of Veronica is little more than an anecdote’.
