Verónica (2017, dir. Paco Plaza)
The film is loosely inspired by the Vallecas case (Madrid, 1991), the first documented police investigation in Spain involving alleged demonic possession. A 14-year-old girl, Estefanía Gutiérrez Lázaro, reportedly began experiencing violent episodes after playing with a Ouija board. She died of status epilepticus, but her death was ruled natural, not supernatural. veronica filme
