I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy this movie. The premise was kind of sketchy, but the two lead actors made this an enjoyable watch! The actor who played Soren played the character with a perfect balance of self pity and humor. The actor who played Miranda seemed to be having fun with the role, which made her character arc very engaging. I am hoping for a sequel, that dives deeper into what she is! Great Movie!

The first act is too long, with none of the characters seeming to have lives and means of support - none going to work or school etc,. The film doesn't really get effed up and interesting until after she dies, with conversations and scenes from there that seems to be written to answer the "What if" questions about 'super' characters. Some of the dialog by the supporting cast should have rewritten in to more natural language - letting in some ad-libs could have sorted that. The cinematography matches the mood, nothing exciting, just straightforward shots that get out of the way of the story telling. Some of the audio tracks start or end sharply, but all the dialog is easy to listen to and clear of the background sound, which is a change from many recent productions. Sure, the ending is a little predictable, but the journey to get there is diverting and intriguing. Bet on seeing these two leads being seen in many future productions.

Loved this movie. I wouldn't say it had a profound message about life the universe and everything, but every scene was so refreshingly different from 99% of horror movies out there. To me it was just pure entertainment from start to end. Acting pretty decent. Hope to see more of the leads. Just go into this with an open mind and desire to be entertained. Another reviewer here said they could watch one or two more hours of Miranda's adventure .. I Agree!!! Give us a sequel please!!

We are introduced first to Soren (Zach Steffey) who has the boyish looks of Jon Voight in "Midnight Cowboy." He hears voices in his head which instruct him to kill. He was been stalking three girls in Barstow and abducts Miranda (Annabel Barrett) who was the only one introduced to us, aka "The Final Girl." However, our final girl gets her throat cut soon after being abducted, but comes back to life. After killing Miranda three times, Soren gives up and the two of them bond attempting to figure out what is going on. They meet characters along the way like a Greek play. The film was confusing by design. It is a comedy/drama/tragedy that is not for everyone and I am not sure if it was for me or not. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

If you're open minded to low budget indies then you really must take a chance on this one. It's a wonderful journey for both of the main characters. The path along the way explores this subtle mythos with interesting encounters and self awareness. It's funny, heartfelt, weird and entertaining. I enjoyed this film way more than I expected. The imdb rating was low but the marketing line was enough to entice me to watch anyway. I suggest you do the same.

Kind of an interesting premise which just puffs out 35 minutes in, after an hour and 10 I had to start skipping minutes ahead for my sanity. I understand this is a low budget film which Is why this gets a 4 and not a 5 but i've seen better low budget romantic films around death which I could happily watch again, 'A ghost Waits' for example. Miranda Veil is not a terrible movie and if it was cut down to being an hour long it might even be a passable one.

A wannabe serial killer picks a victim, only to discover that she can't die. What starts as a gruesome horror movie quickly turns into something completely different. Miranda Veil is a very strange film, full of contradictions and changes in moody and style. It's also a daring and quite cheeky film. Does everything work? No. Does everything make sense? Absolutely not. Did I still love every second of it? Abso-freaking-lutely! I can't think of a more delightful movie experience this year.

For a low budget indie/horror film it delivers on the premise. Get into the movie a little deeper and find some comedy/drama mixed in.
