From the co-director of [REC], Paco Plaza‘s movie Veronica is getting a prequel with Sister Death (aka Hermana Muerte), and Netflix has debuted a teaser to coincide with the announcement that the horror film is slated to open this year’s Sitges Film Festival.
The eerie teaser comes this morning via the the official account Netflix España. The teaser establishes a scary tone, more than reveal any plot details.
In Sister Death, “In post-war Spain, Narcisa (Aria Bedmar), a young novice with supernatural powers, arrives at a former convent, now a school for girls, to become a teacher. As the days go by, the strange events and increasingly disturbing situations that torment her will eventually lead her to unravel the terrible skein of secrets that surround the convent and haunt its inhabitants.”
Netflix’s Veronica was about a young woman who must protect her younger brother and sister after she attempts to bring back the spirit of their dead father through a Ouija ritual.
Verónica is loosely based on the true story of Estefania Gutierrez Lazaro, a Spanish teenager who died mysteriously in 1992 after using a Ouija board. You can stream Veronica over on Netflix right now and get caught up ahead of the prequel’s release.
Prequel Sister Death will center on the character Hermana Muerte, played by Consuelo Trujillo in Veronica. Almudena Amor, Luisa Merelas, Chelo Vivares, and Maru Valdivielso also star in Sister Death.
No release date has been revealed as of yet, but it seems likely that we can expect it sometime after the Sitges premiere, just in time for Halloween. Sitges is slated to commence on October 5 and run through October 15, 2023.
Jorge Guerricaechevarria wrote the script for the new prequel movie.
