"Veronica" is scaring people so bad they can’t even finish it.

I watched the movie to see what all the fuss was about.

I thought it was a really well-made movie but not all that scary.

When "Veronica" arrived to Netflix this week, Twitter exploded with reactions. Many users were so scared they had to turn it off without finishing. Others were less convinced.

As a huge fan of horror, I was skeptical and a bit worried.

I can watch monsters, killers, ghosts, or a tape that kills you in seven days, but I don't typically handle demonic possessions really well.

But I vowed to watch it without turning it off, especially considering the filmmaker is Paco Plaza, who made the incredible 2007 zombie film "REC."

"Veronica" is a Spanish film loosely based on the story of Estefania Gutierrez Lazaro, a teen girl who died under mysterious circumstances in Madrid in 1992. The film opens with text letting the viewer know that the events they're about to see are based on a police report filed on the events.

I sat down to watch "Veronica" after work, thinking I would be able to write a little while it was on. But I was immediately hooked.

This was, in part, partly because it's in Spanish so I needed to be reading the subtitles, but also because the world drew me in. The performances are so good, especially those of Veronica (Sandra Escacena) and her little brother Antonito (Iván Chavero).

The first scene shows police storming into the apartment staring horrified at something you can't see, before cutting to Veronica getting ready for school three days earlier. This builds in a tension to the whole movie, as you wait to see what it was that stopped the officer in his tracks.

Veronica is 15 and tasked with the care of her three younger siblings. Her mom works nights and sleeps most of the day, and you're told that her father has passed away, though you don't get any more information than that.

During a solar eclipse, all the students in her school go outside to view it, but instead of joining them, Veronica and two friends head to a basement at the school to use her new Ouija Board.

They try to summon Veronica's father, but quickly realize that plan didn't work. Lights flash, glass breaks, and Veronica ends up fainting. Later that evening, strange things start happening in her home including her being temporarily paralyzed, the bathwater somehow becoming scalding hot and burning Antonito, and a slew of other typical paranormal events — lights flashing, doors slamming, and a ghoulish version of her father a la "It Follows."

For a movie that starts so strong and builds its characters so well, the second and third acts felt remarkably typical. If you've watched "Paranormal Activity" or any possession movie for that matter, you've likely seen the same kind of things you'll see in "Veronica," which I should have realized as soon as they pulled out the Ouija Board.

Despite its tropes and unoriginal plot, I was super engaged with the movie. I desperately wanted to know what was going to happen, and the climax absolutely delivered.

During the ending credits, they share crime scene photos that eerily depict the events you just watched, which was pretty creepy.

So, I made it all the way through and slept just fine. That's not to say the movie isn't scary, and I definitely screamed (a little) the first time they showed one of the creepiest monsters.

But ultimately, it's a movie I've seen before and will likely see a hundred times over. There are only so many ways you can show the occult, and it just feels like we've seen them all already.
