Was Veronica a True Story?

It was screened in the Contemporary World Cinema section at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival. It is loosely based on true events from the 1991 Vallecas case where Estefanía Gutiérrez Lázaro died mysteriously after she used a ouija board.

Has anyone died from the movie Veronica?

According to several paranormal blog sites, including Ghost Theory, police reports from 1992 indicate that a young girl named Estefania Gutierrez died several months after performing a "makeshift sèance" at her high school. The ritual included a Ouija board, which the girls used with a glass turned upside down.

Is Veronica actually that scary?

Slow and suspenseful by design, Veronica takes its time to get going. But once it does, things get very creepy, very quickly. This is a dark and deeply unsettling film that only gets more and more unnerving as it progresses.
