Is Netflix's new horror movie based on actual events?
If you have been following social media over the last couple of days, you've likely heard
about the Netflix Movie Veronica which is reportedly so scary that some people can't
make it to the end without flipping their night lights on.
While I personally don't think it is particularly terrifying, many people do say otherwise.
And therefore it's a good thing, that everybody perceives those kinds of movies differently,
am I right?
Today we want to check out the real events that inspired the Netflix movie Veronica and
shed some light on the original police report of this eerie and paranormal case.
Before we take a look at the real case behind the Veronica movie, which is mostly referred
to as the Vallecas Case, here is a short introduction of how the whole scary plot is condensed in
Netflix's show.
Veronica is a new horror movie directed by Paco Plaza, who is best known for 2007�s
zombie horror REC.
The movie was released on Netflix last Monday and was the reason that many people were having
trouble sleeping at night.
After the movie starts off with an emergency call, we slowly learn about the paranormal
case that took place at the residence of Veronica's family.
During the many different chapters of the movie, on-screen texts assert specific addresses,
times and specific dates in which the events on screen took place.
The movie is even naming the police station in Madrid that took the initial emergency
call.
While we learn about all these specific dates in time, we are accompanied by different photographs,
that allegedly stem from the residence.
Then we learn that the movie's story is based on the police report filed by the detective
in charge of the case.
At least, that is what the text reads.
After this intro, the movie kicks off the plot about three days prior to the filing
of the police report.Veronica (displayed by Sandra Escacena) wakes up her younger twin
sisters and younger brother and makes them ready for school.
She mostly takes care of her siblings all by her own, since her mom works long and late
hours at a nearby diner almost every day of the week.
It's a special day because today an eclipse is supposed to take place.
Veronica and two of her friends plan to use the eclipse's power to fuel a ritual, that
they are planning to hold in the school's basement during the event.
The girl pans to use an Ouija board to reach out to her deceased father.
But Unfortunately, the girls reach out to something else.. more evil and sinister and
closer to a real demon.
The being follows her home and drapes its long, spindly shadow over her whole family,
that she has been forced to protect.
We then jump forward to June 15, 1991, which is exactly three days after their s�ance.
This is the night, were Detective Jose Ramon Romero was called to the home on 8 Gerardo
Nunez Street, in response to a phone call that was asking for immediate help.
This is the premise of the movie version.
But what did really went down at 8 Gerardo Nunez Street?
It is believed that the police report of the case is real.
Scans are available to the public online, with a glut of write-ups around the 20th anniversary,
of what many people now know as the �Vallecas Case� which has been spread about many Spanish
and even South American paranormal websites.
The case was named after a Madrid neighborhood where a young woman, Estefania Gutierrez Lazaro
reportedly performed the same seance at her school.
It then is said that an actual nun broke her board, which caused in the abrupt ending and
interruption of the initial ritual.
This was what many believed the point, at which a dark door into the abyss was opened.
Something evil attached itself to Estefania the same day.
After that day, she went through months of experiencing seizures and different kinds
of hallucinations.
What seemed to be a recurring pattern were the apparitions of dark shadows and presences
surrounding her.
Never really finding a cure for that curse, that plagued her over several months, Estefania
lost her battle against the otherworldly energies and passed away.
It was August 1991, when she could no longer keep the fight up against these entities.
IF we take a closer look at the police report, we realize that it doesn't particularly have
much to do with her.
But details about her possession that are very strange, to say
the least.
It is said, in an unverifiable claim, that Estefania inhaled a form of paranormal vapor
from the broken glass pieces of the planchette, with which she was playing the game.
Another detail even shows that Estefania's family didn't get the police involved until
more than a year after her death.
But allegedly many ghost encounters have taken place, after the whole incident, at the same
residence many years later.
The police visited the family home when they were reportedly hearing a loud noise, which
was stemming from an empty porch.
And then, all of a sudden, the door of a closed wardrobe, which was situated in the living
room just opened out of nowhere.
A cross with Jesus fell from the wall and separated the little figure from the wood
and a large brown stain appeared.
Although the police report might not appear as spectacular as the movie itself, the involved
officers described the cases that transpired afterward as a situation of mystery and rarity.
A television special even investigated the case in the family home and features a demonologist
and paranormal expert, who caught unsettling evp's of an entity, speaking of grandpa.
A middle-aged woman, who was part of Tristan's team seems to get possessed during one of
their investigations of the family house after the woman tries to make contact with the evil
spirits.
The following events are really concerning.
When asked about the case, director Paco Plaza said to a newspaper: In Spain its very popular,
this story, because it is, as we say in the film, the only time a police officer has said
he has witnessed something paranormal, and its written in a report with an official police
stamp and its really impressive when you look at it,But I think when we tell something,
it becomes a story, even if its in the news.
You only have to read the different newspapers to know how different reality is, depending
on whos telling it.
So I knew we were going to betray the real events.
I just wanted to make a whole vision What do you think about the dark details that
caused the creation of the creepy tale of Veronica?
