In Paco Plaza's Veronica when You Play with the Devil You Get the Horns!

Paco Plaza's Veronica was released on Netflix this week. The film is a horror film, involving: a Ouija board, an eclipse and a demonic summoning. This film has played several film festivals in 2017, including the Toronto International Film Festival. This is a dramatic horror film. And, Veronica stars newcomers: Sandra Escacena, Bruna González, Claudia Placer and Ana Torrent. Fernando Navarro, of Muse (2016) fame, developed the script. A trailer and story details are available for Veronica here.

Veronica is set in 1991. After a family tragedy, Verónica turns to friends Rosa (Ángela Fabián) and Diana (Carla Campra). Verónica wants to contact her dead relative. But, something is waiting for her, in a supernatural dimension. Now, a strange presence haunts Verónica, in her family home.

The film's debut on Netflix was a bit of a surprise. As well, Veronica has won several awards. There was no official announcement of the film's debut, until today. Netflix continues to launch horror titles, on this streaming service, with little in the way of a preview. An award winning feature, Veronica has already won "Best Editing" and "Best New Actress," at the Cinema Writers Circle Awards, in Spain. This horror title has been nominated for several more. Now, fans of foreign horror films can see Veronica, right now. And, Netflix continues to flex its film release muscle, early in the year.
