Verónica

Verónica (Sandra Escacena) is a pretty, cheerful, highly capable 15-year-old, entrusted to look after her three younger siblings while her widowed mother (Ana Torrent) works long hours at a local tavern. One day, while the rest of her classmates assemble on the roof to behold a lunar eclipse, Verónica and her friends sneak into the bowels of their school with a Ouija board. By the end of their séance, the board has snapped in two, and Verónica has fallen unconscious. In the days that follow, it seems that whatever was released in that basement is following Verónica around. "Someone answered your call," warns a sagely old nun, "and now it walks with you."
