Dubbed as the most scary movie on Netflix my family and I decided to watch it on a very hot Sunday night. What happened next was beyond what I could have ever imagined. We actually never got to finish it the first time around because my wife who pushed me to watch it in the first place was the first to have her eyes closed!

So we had to finish it the following day during lunch.

The Plot:

Veronica follows the titular character as she deals with the weird things that start happening in her house after a seance that went wrong.

The Good:

The actress that plays Veronica is awfully pretty  , those who plays her sisters and Antonito are all cute which makes you hope that something bad doesn't happen to them. 

The similarities of Filipino and Spanish like when they count or how the Spanish School girls are much like our own.

The atmosphere that Veronica's house creates. The weird waking dreams and that closet scene where Antonito is shouting. Vero Vero Vero again and again. Watch the movie to find out why he was shouting her big sisters name.

The reaction of the Detective as discovers Veronica.

The mystery left by this case. The next one could be you.

The Bad:

Veronica's friends.Bad bad bad. You see her friends abandon her after that incident with the Ouija board. They decide to bond with each other and basically pretend that she does not exist at all.

They decide to do all the things that friends normally do like party or go do homework together leaving Veronica out. And the reason for it? Because when Veronica was possessed with the thing she told her friend that she was going to die 3 days later.

And her friends just went on with their lives. Sorry can't help you there. On your own. Yeah

The Ugly:

Sister Death  , a blind , cigarette smoking Nun who can see things. Well perceive things. Something about those milky white eyes.

The thing that is out for Vero's soul. I wish it could say something. It doesn't. 

In Conclusion:

Veronica was indeed a scary movie but not in the way that the spirit was out to get her soul. It was because this thing happened to her by her own choice. The lack of a parent. Her mom was always working making her the defacto mom at home who looks out for her 3 other siblings. And her Dad was dead so she was dabbling in the occult to try and talk to him. Loneliness can make you do really scary things. 

Her friends who abandoned her was also scary.True Friends would at least be willing to try to change the course of things went. These friends did nothing.
