Veronica (2018)

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

As Good As It Gets

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

This movie received a lot of hype and I went in with high expectations. Needless to say, I was disappointed. I made it through the whole film, but not without predicting or being bored by every jumpscare or "twist." VERONICA is unoriginal at best.

My friend got me into this movie, telling me that it is the scariest movie in world. The movie started, it was progressing very slowly. though the plot is nice, the end or climax is horrible. There is nothing scary about climax or anything in the movie. I felt disappointed after watching the movie.

Cops are called to some scene in an apartment. They arrive and are stunned. Then we are taken a couple of days back. Veronica is a teenage girl raising her 3 little siblings since the mom works 24/7 at some restaurant. She goes to Catholic school and one day plays the Ouija board with some classmates. She thinks she's contacted her dead father. Of course afterward weird but entirely unscary stuff starts happening. There's a blind nun at school who knows what happened. Veronica forgot to the end the Ouija seance properly with the "good bye" so he brought something into this realm from another. Now she has to go back and finish things properly.This is supposedly based on real life where Spanish cops concluded there was some supernatural even going on--the only time they've done so. The movie ends with pictures presumably from police records which are a little creepy. But aside from that Veronica is complete junk. The hype is either completely fabricated or people are so fond of REC that they feel that this director can do no wrong. Oh but he did, "Paco" Plaza completely botched this thing. Is it that hard to make a good Ouija-based horror movie? The 80s movies are masterpieces compared to the garbage made in the last couple of years. Veronica us the worst of them, utterly unoriginal, dull, boring, slow with absolutely zero thrills.

Yeah.. I admit it... I fell for the "scariest horror movie of all time" baloney. Unfortunately Verónica is a collection of tired horror movie clichés with completely inapproriate over-the-top music and the usual things-that-move-on-their-own and things-that-make-noises nonsense. Just imagine the other side... how a ghost or demon shoves bags off a wardrobe or plays around with Simon... probably giggling in the process. Silly as hell and only scary when this is your first horror movie ever!At least there were some decent but not great performances. Don't believe the hype people! Skip it... and watch Poltergeist instead. It gives you all the stuff this movie gives you, but executed ten times better (and 35 years earlier).
