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
