Storyline

The film focuses on Veronica Glover, a black teenager who has been elected to the Student Congress of her predominantly white high school in New Haven, Connecticut.

Critics consensus

“A scarily effective horror outing, Veronica proves it doesn't take fancy or exotic ingredients to craft skin-crawling genre thrills.”

There's nothing in it that will surprise horror movie aficionados.

A considerable buzz online suggested that this Spanish horror might arrest the recent run of iffy Netflix movies. Sadly, it doesn't.

Its ideas aren't ultimately original enough or its scares potent enough to suggest Plaza wouldn't benefit from trying his directorial hand at someone else's screenplay.

You get everything that you could want from a possession/haunting film and although there are a lot of horror movie tropes, they are well executed in unique ways.
