To me, this movie is perfection.

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

A girl plays around contacting the spirit world and gets more than she bargins for.From the opening scene this looks like it is going to a found footage movie like Rec - it is not.It has a very European feel to it and does not mind taking its time.
The first half an hour of the film is all about characterization.
You really get to walk a mile in the shoes of a school girl shouldering the responsibility of raising her younger siblings.The camera, lighting and set design is absolutely amazing.
It is one of those films that makes you appreciate HD.As the film slowly winds up to some super natural action the time spent building a connection with the characters really pays off.
I was really concerned about the characters and what the impending evil would bring.The only problem with this film is it is massively front loaded.
When things finally come to a head it feels a bit of an anti-climax.Very well made, an enjoyable watch - but feels a bit limp in retrospect.

I was excited about this movie however turned it off after the first 5 minutes spent more time reading the subtitles and missing the actual movie scenes if your not a fan of subtitles give this a miss!

How did this movie get any hype at all? I had very high hopes for verónica. The story is just yet another ouija demon, so predictible throughout the whole movie, the demon was overexposed like in most horrorfilms which makes the movie not scary at all and the demons appearance isn't even scary to begin with. I recommend you don't watch it, it's a waste of time.

Veronica was directed by Paco Plaza and stars Sandra Escacena, Bruna González, Claudia Placer, Iván Chavero and Ana Torrent.I want to start off with saying that I am a huge fan of horror. I have a deep love for the genre, but unfortunately it's rare to see a really great horror film. That's why I am even sadder to report that I didn't enjoy this movie much at all, especially after hearing all the buzz about it.So let's start with the pros first. Sandra Escacena is absolutely fabulous as Veronica and delivers a very grounded and nuanced performance as does Ana Torrent. There is also a nun character played by Consuelo Trujillo who I also thought was very good. The movie is very good looking but unfortunately the story doesn't deliver, which leads me into my negatives.The structure of the story sucks any suspense that could be created out of the film. The opening of the film literally spells out how the film is going to end. Some of the other kids performances are very off and on for me as well. In one scene they are able to deliver the right amount of dread and fear while in some other scenes they can be very stale.Now I am a score guy, I really love film scores so much so that I listen to nothing else. And while the music here is pretty good, the film chooses to place very bombastic music under scenes that would otherwise be very suspenseful thus sucking any suspense that was there out of it.But my biggest flaw with this film is that towards the end the character of Veronica makes such a stupid decision that I immediately lost any sympathy that I had for her because she places the people she swore to protect in danger.So to sum it up: It's a pretty movie, it's an overall well-acted film. But it's the story that really turned me off. The film is available on Netflix it you want to give it a shot but I would not recommend it.
