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 4 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.

Plot summary
Toying with the idea of becoming a serial killer and sick of hearing the incessant voice in his head, Soren decides to vent his intense sociopathic inclination. After careful planning, Soren finds his first victim in the person of unsuspecting Miranda Veil, and as one thing leads to another, he takes her to a barn in the middle of the dry California desert to satisfy his need for blood and murder. Before long, the inexperienced tormentor summons up the courage to strike a mortal blow, only to realise that he needs to improve his technique. A few seemingly deadly but fruitless attempts later, both Soren and Miranda come to a grim and equally shocking conclusion: try as they might, extraordinary Miranda is incapable of granting Soren's wish. After all, how do you kill something that cannot die?

Really not worth the high rating some have given, including the films apparent producer.

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.

Well, it's unique,...
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.
