Veronica
People often speak ill of this movie's scariness - and that's only because fake news articles pop up on people's feeds claiming it is the scariest movie ever. So, people obviously give it a watch and almost immediately get disappointed. One review said quote 'Ugh. Don't fall for the hype. This is a very AVERAGE scary movie.' unquote. Sure, this movie wasn't 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳, but it wasn't your average scary movie, either. As I've said in previous reviews and logs, I enjoy watching more psychologically scary movies. The ones that scare you in a totally different way. A type of fear that stays with you a couple of days. A fear that makes you not be able to walk to the fridge at two in the morning. A fear that makes you question if you really are afraid of the dark or not.
"But you never see the actual demons that haunt the girl!" It's not always about seeing, it's about feeling.
Not only is this a mental nightmare, it is even based on a true story. Oh yeah, it was loosely based off of a Spanish case from 1991, where a highschool girl reported seizures and hallucinations after playing with a Ouija board, and then mysteriously passed away. I'm not going to get into details, since this is a movie review and not a true-crime podcast.
In my opinion, this movie was absolutely terrifying, but it was also a banger. This is how every horror movie should be like. (This review might be biased because I love foreign horror movies and movies based on true stories.. woops!)
