The new Spanish movie has been making waves over the weekend, after landing online at the end of February.
Viewers have described it as “so f**king scary”, setting it up already as one of the most horrifying of the year.
One shaken person wrote: “Started watching Veronica on Netflix (huge REC fan so interested in anything Paco Plaza is involved in) but the demon walking down the hallway scene freaked me out so much I had to turn it off… #SuchAWuss.”
“Verónica on Netflix is very unsettling, I had to turn it off last night and continue it this morning just so I could watch in daylight,” said another.
Someone else tweeted: “Everyone should watch that new movie Veronica on Netflix.
“I’m freaking out, I don’t do scary movies well and F**K this is a good one.”
Not everybody agrees, though: and actually, attention on how scary Veronica is has only amplified how unscary others have found it.
“ok unpopular opinion but that movie verónica on @netflix isn’t scary at all??” one person insisted.
“i watched the movie veronica on netflix, and while i didnt have to turn the movie off from fright like ive seen some people had to do, it is definitely scary and i can see why some people needed to,” said someone else.
Another user wrote: “Huh… Can’t see why everyone is freaking out about #Veronica on Netflix. It’s NOT that scary.”
Veronica was released in Spain last year, and is about a teenager who tries to contact her dead boyfriend with a Ouija board, but mistakenly reaches her late father instead.
Another upcoming movie that has been touted as “the scariest of the year” is Hereditary, starring Toni Collette.
