Netflix has dropped a new Spanish horror movie, Veronica, which has been described as the “scariest movie ever”– and viewers are going mad for it. The movie was put online earlier this week and people have taken to Twitter to warn fellow users about their nail-biting viewing experience.
Veronica is based on a true story about the unsolved case of a young girl in Madrid in 1992 named Estefania Gutierrez Lazaro, who mysteriously died after using an Ouija board. Police were never able to crack their investigation.
How much of Veronica is true?
Horror movies often come with the “inspired by a true story” label, but in most cases, further investigation will prove that there’s only a grain of truth in the scary events that make it onscreen. In many ways, the same can be said for Veronica.
The main character and her adorable siblings never actually existed, and the events in the film are heavily fictionalized. However, the police documents that follow the credits are from the Vallecas Case, a chilling series of unexplained events that happened to a family in Spain in the early ’90s.
