Hey what's up guys. Today I'll show you a paranormal horror film: "Veronica"!
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care! Based on a true story set in Madrid 19 91,
the film starts with a foreshadowing of police, receiving an emergency phone
call at Sunday midnight. As soon as the police arrive at the address, the detective notices a
worried middle-aged woman, running towards two frightened children. The detective and his team
try to rescue two more children upstairs, only to witness a horrifying scene.
Three days earlier, on June 12, 19 91, Thursday morning, "Eldest:" a responsible sister, gets up
to assist her siblings for school. She first wakes up "Tres": her third sibling, to take a shower;
then, she opens the curtain to wake up her second sibling: "Dos." and lastly, "Quatro:" the youngest
of them all. During breakfast, Dos informs Eldest to bring negative pictures, used to look at the
eclipse as a class project. Eldest then goes to her mother's room to get Dos's class project,
but she eerily stops, when she takes her dead father's photo. Her half-awake mother
asks if she's okay, which she affirms. In Eldest's class, the nun instructor teaches
that some primitive cultures believe solar eclipse is a good time for human sacrifices.
Eldest's friend, nick-named "Curly", asks her if she has the ouija board with her.
Eldest then responds that the board is with her. When the teacher talks about
the different beliefs, the ring bells, and signals students and teachers to witness the eclipse.
Meanwhile, Eldest, Curly, and Blondie sneak out of the eclipse viewing event. It turns out that they
are planning to use the board, to summon the spirit of Eldest's father during the eclipse.
The three of them head down to the dirty basement; Curly asks Blondie if she has ever done a seance
before, but Blondie explains she used paper cut-outs, but not with an official board.
Eldest then brings out an occult encyclopedia and her father's self-photo, used to connect them
with the father's spirit. At the same time, the moon starts to get in between the sun,
when they commence the seance. They ask if there's anyone with them;
the glass begins to move, which signifies there is a spirit around. So they ask if the spirit wants
to talk to Eldest. The other two want to confirm if it's her father, so they ask again who it is.
As the partial contact of the eclipse starts, the glass moves once again. The three of them feel
the shiver, but they shrug it off, and blame one another if someone's moving the glass. however,
the glass moves again, this time so rapidly; the glass stops at the center, and it burns
the index finger of Curly and Blondie, as the second contact of the eclipse engulfs the sky.
Strangely enough, the board leaves Eldest untouched, and seems out of herself.
The eclipse continues its third contact, and the glass breaks, earning the screams of Curly and
Blondie. On the other hand, Eldest has her index finger bleed at the sun symbol on the centerboard;
then it suddenly breaks. Because of panic, Curly accidentally kicks the candle;
they use flashlights to uncover the dim, only to find Eldest lying on the floor,
who is saying something uncontrollably; then screams on top of her lungs.
Later that day, after fainting in the basement, she ends up in an infirmary;
the matron then finds out that she hasn't had her period yet, so maybe she's iron deficient.
Eldest then heads to the exit, to go home with her siblings; but Tres notices a blind
nun seemingly looking at Eldest. As they reach the house, the paranormal
events officially start. Eldest goes directly to her room, and sees the burn in her bag.
She then checks up the broken board from her purse, and closes it, placing it atop the
cabinet. But when she's about to head outside of her room, her bag drops, which shocks her. Eldest
then decides to put her bag below her bed. Shortly after, Quatro and Dos notice Eldest
all frozen up, as she tries to eat. Dos then talks to Tres over the radio to come over.
thanks to the terrified Dos who accidentally spills the milk, Eldest turns back to her senses,
then wipes her mouth. Eldest catches sight of a mysterious bruise on her shoulder, as she washes
her towel. Her confusion stops when she hears the telephone rings. it turns out it's Curly,
postponing their hangout because she's with her mother. Eldest tries to call again,
only to find out Curly is lying to her, and currently hanging out with Blondie.
Hours later, Eldest bathes Quatro, and jams their favorite song, 'Centella.'. She then hears
a crash outside the bathroom, and thinks it's because of Dos and Tres. The impact grows loud,
and it turns out it comes from her bedroom, and not from the two. Eldest comes to her room to
check, and hears Quatro's screams, but suddenly her bedroom door closes. As soon as it opens,
she finds out Quatro burns, because of strange hot water coming from the faucet. Eldest washes her
hand, after rubbing an ointment to her brother's burns shortly after. later, she comes to wash the
dishes, and notices a glass on the sink. Just when she's about to put her index finger on top of it,
Centella creepily plays on their television. Anxious, Eldest slowly approaches the TV to turn
it off; little did she know, the unseen creature is silently following and watching her.
Eventually, Eldest goes to her bedroom, then moves her bag inside the cabinet. Strangely though,
she wakes up suddenly in the middle of the night, noticing her cabinet's mirrored door closing
slowly. She then bravely checks what's inside, and she sees Dos and Tres curling up in fear. Seconds
later, Eldest hears someone calling her; it's her dead father, naked and slowly approaching her.
She responds as she backs up, confirming if it's her father. Unfortunately for her, the monstrous
burned arms pull her towards her bed; her father's body starts to change into a spine-chilling
evil spirit, reaching her wide-opened mouth. Friday morning comes, June 13, 19 91; it turns out
that it's just a nightmare, but brings her in an ominous panting. Later, the class discussion about
a story concludes, with her teacher saying that no one escapes the consequences of passing the limit,
that separates reality from fantasy. Sadly, Curly and Blondie seem to exclude Eldest
from their paper crumpling routine, so she asks her teacher if she may go out. With her fresh
spine-chilling memories yesterday, she goes back to the basement, where the seance took place.
To her surprise, the nun suddenly speaks from the corner, then tells her a metaphor of ready-made
french toast as the evil spirit, who answered her call. The nun takes a look at a photo of
Eldest's father, and immediately senses that it's not her father who responded to the seance,
but an evil spirit. The nun then alerts Eldest to protect her siblings, because the evil spirit
now walks with her. Later on, Eldest talks to Curly if she's mad at her. Curly says no,
and explains that she ignores Eldest, because of the strange incident during the seance.
Now aware of the devil, Eldest draws a symbol of protection to papers, and tape them around
the house when she gets home. Later in the evening, Eldest hears a voice from Dos over
the walkie-talkie, saying that she should not let the spirit hurt them, since she was the one who
summoned the devil. But when Eldest sees their toy lights up red and blue, she finds out that Dos and
Tres are asleep. However, when she turns back, she notices a shadow through the wall, that quickly
chokes Dos. The devil suddenly disappears; and Eldest shakes Dos until she wakes up. Eldest then
explains to her confused siblings, that there's someone inside the house wanting to hurt them.
Shortly after, Eldest gathers her siblings in the living room to sleep together,
so she can protect them from the devil. When she wakes up from her quick nap,
she slowly walks through the hallway, and catches the sight of the evil spirit. Dos and Tres ask her
what's wrong as the silhouette walks closer to the opaque door. Eldest raises the cross,
only to find out it's her mother, who at this time gets confused. Dos and Tres hurriedly run
toward their mother, sharing about the spirit and fear they feel with Eldest's encounters.
After that, their mother visits Eldest in her room, and asks her what's happening.
Eldest then recalls the ouija board, and she accidentally calls the devil. Her mother asks why,
so Eldest answers she just wanted to talk with her father. Their mother then shrugs it off,
insisting she reads too much occult stuff. Another nightmare occurs; Dos and Tres jump the
bed, so she groggily shouts at them to leave her alone. She screams on top of her lungs, when Dos
and Tres devour both of her arms; while Quatro jumps on top of her. Their mother eerily utters
her desire, to make Eldest have her menstrual period; then, a strange blast of blood comes
in her upper legs. Her screams get louder and louder, until she wakes up chasing her breath.
It's now Saturday morning, June 14, 19 91; Eldest finds out the blood on her pajamas and foam.
She proceeds to look behind her foam, and finds a burnt mark on it. Shortly after,
she notices a book from Quatro's hand; Quatro says that their father reads it with him; and he will
come back again to take him where he lives. Eldest instructs Quatro that he needs to plug his ears,
and repeatedly shout for her name if the creature comes back. Worried for her family,
Eldest checks their foam one by one, and sees the different positions of burnt marks.
Although it's Saturday, Eldest goes to the basement, and seeks an answer from the nun.
She then asks how to stop it, but the nun tells her that God has nothing to do with it;
so crosses and amulets do not work. Eldest needs to do the same way the spirits came in,
and she needs to destroy the spirit's pathway. Eldest stops by to a swing to read more about it;
and it says she has to do right what she did wrong, and never end the seance with a goodbye, or
it will stay with her. This means that she needs to do the seance again, to open up the pathway for
the devil, to go back where it came from. After knowing the possible solution,
Eldest runs toward Curly and Blondie's party to ask for help, and do the seance again. However,
Curly and Blondie refuse, with Curly informing Eldest about the thing Eldest uncontrollably
utters back on Thursday: that, Eldest is going to die today. The world seems to collapse to
Eldest's shoulders, when she realizes there's no turning back; so she comes to her mother's
diner to ask her if she can close her shop, and be with them instead. Their busy mother
refuses because of the hectic restaurant, and promises to take them to the park tomorrow.
A late rainy night envelops the tension, as Eldest devises a plan to do the board, this
time with Dos and Tres. Meanwhile, Quatro's task is to draw the protection symbols on the walls;
but Quatro, as a child he is, outlines the wrong protection symbols instead.
Shortly after, Eldest leads the seance, following the instruction of the occult encyclopedia.
They first ask if the spirit is here, and the glass moves into "yes." Eldest does not obey
the nun's advice, and exclaims that they are here to say 'goodbye' to the spirit,
and needs to leave this place; but the glass moves into "no." She then loudly commands the
spirit to leave out of there, while she also instructs Dos and Tres to repeat her command.
Eldest rereads the book, and figures out they need to sing a mantra to conclude the seance properly.
The three sing Centella, as the ominous feeling creeps; their mantra goes in a lower volume,
so Eldest asks them to keep going. Suddenly, one of their doors slowly closes;
then loud bangings echo the scene. Dos and Tres cannot continue to sing because of the fright;
the door bursts open, the candles lits off, and the ouija board breaks. Seconds later,
the glass rolls outside the door, so Eldest slowly follows it. The glass knocks on her bedroom door,
then leads her to the foam. Eldest switches on her flashlight, and inspects the burnt foam,
only for the creature to grip her hand. Eldest escapes and quickly runs into the hallway,
while the lights blast off; she reunites with her siblings, and calls for emergency help.
As Eldest cries for aid from the police, she catches a glimpse of the innocent Quatro heading
to the door, and eventually yanks by the burnt monster. She then frantically follows Quatro to
the bathroom. Because of the adrenaline, Eldest trips and loses her consciousness. Shortly after,
she wakes up still in the toilet, then finds out Quatro is beside her. She immediately carries her
brother, and tells her sister to dash downstairs fast, as the devil keeps lingering around them.
Meanwhile, their mother notices the police cars heading to their place, so she hurriedly runs
outside. When the siblings are about to get out, only Dos and Tres can make it;
Eldest realizes the devil is playing with her, because Quatro is not in her arms.
Eldest heads back to find Quatro, ignoring the fright from breaking things along her path.
She spots him in the bathtub, but the evil shadow pulls Quatro on his feet,
then closes the curtains. She tries to approach it, but the shadow slaps her, causing her to
slump against the mirror. Meanwhile, Quatro runs out of the bathroom to hide in her bedroom.
As soon as Eldest recovers, the evil creature possesses her body.
She slowly goes to her bedroom to find Quatro, as the evil shadow walks through the wall and
opens her cabinet, revealing Quatro inside. Her possessed body tries to call Quatro, but Quatro
knows it's not her sister; so he continues to plug his ears, then repeatedly calls for her.
Eldest then faces a mirror, where her true self cries for their life, and learns that she became
the creatures' pathway, by using her body to hurt her sibling. It turns out that she was the one who
choked Dos in her sleep; and she was also the one who put hot water into Quatro's bathwater.
Now, the devil is trying to use her to kill Quatro. To save Quatro, she attempts to slit
her throat, to stop the devil from controlling her. But the devil prevents her from killing
herself. The beast then catches her body, and puts its arm on her mouth, choking her.
It is already June 15, 19 91, Sunday midnight. The detective and his team witness a horrifying
scene of the Eldest, screaming in pain as her body strangely warps, while struggling and
abruptly falls. Shortly after, they notice Quatro in the cabinet, and they successfully rescue him.
Meanwhile, the police call the medic to rescue Eldest, who passes out on the ground.
Outside, the mother awaits Eldest, and cries upon seeing her in a horrifying condition.
The detective investigates the scene inside the house, and finds a photo of Eldest.
He tries to touch it; but it's hot, as it slowly starts to burn. Since Eldest became the
evil creature's door, it ceases to exist in the world, when the police declare her already dead,
and the electricity suddenly comes back. After that, the detective writes about the incident,
and certifies having witnessed the first paranormal police report in Spain.
In the end, the story remains a mystery, completely inexplicable up to this day.
