Escacena also stars a Spanish thriller released this year, called The Same.
Relatively unknown Spanish actor Sandra Escacena plays the lead role of Veronica. Her parents reported that following her death their house became haunted, a phenomenon verified by police reports. Ever since she died in hospital, her death remains unexplained. She told her parents she saw “evil” shadows from her room and was taken to see doctors by her parents. The story goes that Estefania began to suffer from seizures and hallucinations for the following six months. When a teacher interrupted, the group she was with described seeing a kind of smoke going into Estefania’s nose and mouth. Police were never able to crack their investigation.Įstefania reportedly tried to conduct the seance at school to contact the late boyfriend of one of her friends, after he died in a motorcycle accident. Veronica is based on a true story about the unsolved case of a young girl in Madrid in 1992 named Estefania Gutierrez Lazaro, who mysteriously died after using an Ouija board. It distorts reality, leaving viewers to wonder whether what is happening is genuine or the result of Veronica’s imagination. The movie features jarring music and freaky sound effects, moving objects and, even, a terrifying, cigarette-smoking blind-nun.
The film, which was screened in the Contemporary World Cinema section at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival, quickly escalates as the teenagers are haunted by an evil supernatural force.
