Miranda Veil-- Horror Movie Ending Spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: On her birthday, Miranda realizes she is unable to die. This she discovers when she is abducted by a serial killer. 

 What if you could live forever? Would you want to?

And what if you're stuck in that one age for the rest of your life? How enticing is that idea to you?

If you think about it, you could stay at that age where you're not too young nor too old. You are at the perfect age. Your mind will grow but the drawback of this curse or gift, however you see it, is that your loved ones will age. They will grow older, get diseases and perhaps you will have to watch them die.

But you remain the same age forever.

Now would you really want to live forever?

Miranda Veil, is in all aspects a good movie. Not horror-wise as much, and most of the scenes border on comedy. What's interesting is the characterizations that are unlike any you have seen in movies before.

We have a girl called Miranda who is terrified, yet fascinated by her new gift. It is how she comes to terms with it is what forms the crux of the movie.

Then there's Soren, a man possibly suffering from schizophrenia and has one dream he wants to accomplish, to become a killer. But he doesn't want to kill just anyone; he's looking for that special one who deserves to be his victim.

MIRANDA VEIL Movie Plot

Soren kidnaps a woman but right before the "voice" tells him to kill her, he changes his mind. The woman is not special enough to be his first; after all, he's always going to remember his first.

So the woman is left on the side of the road, traumatized.

On the other side, Miranda is celebrating her twenty-first birthday and she's one lazy girl who has to be picked up by her father from bed and plopped down at the breakfast table.

Later, she goes out with her friends to a bar and gets sloshed enough to want to discuss constellations with total strangers.

That stranger is none other than Soren, on the prowl looking for that special girl to be his next victim.

He's so impressed with Miranda's knowledge of Cassiopeia that he decides she should be his first victim.

The next night, as Miranda is taking a stroll, Soren kidnaps her and takes her six hours away from where she lives.

When she awakens, she's in an abandoned shed, scared and chained up. Soren subjects to torture but to his amazement, she doesn't seem to be in too much pain and he wonders if she is faking her injuries or is able to control her pain.

He informs her tomorrow is the last day she lives and leaves.

The next day, Miranda is strangled and Soren commends himself for finally going through with his first kill. He is now on the path to be a serial killer.

But while he's rejoicing, Miranda pops back up, unscathed.

Soren freaks out and stabs her multiple times, ripping her tank top in the process. Hardly a minute later, Miranda is up again, without a scratch although her top is in shreds.

At this point, Miranda is the one wondering how she's still not dead and almost welcomes an axe to her head.

But up pops Miranda again.

Soren is convinced that Miranda is dead and he's either hallucinating or being haunted by her ghost. He leaves his shed, talking to himself, trying to make sense but it is Miranda who wants answers.

Soren doesn't have any and asks her to leave him alone. Miranda refuses unless she understands what is truly going on with her.

He threatens to force himself on her if she doesn't comply to which Miranda scoffs and tells him she consents, therefore taking the power away from Soren.

The next thing she asks for is her backpack which has a change of clothes. She changes her clothes and orders Soren to drive her home that is a six-hour journey.

In the car, Miranda changes her clothes yet again in the backseat while Soren watches her, wondering if she is an image from his damaged mind.

Bored of the long journey in the car, she asks to put on music but Soren doesn't have any music tastes on the account he always had a voice in his head keeping him company. For some reason, the voice is quiet whenever he's around Miranda.

Soren, still unconvinced that Miranda is there stops at the gas station. At the store, he meets a man in a rabbit costume. Soren thinks he's hallucinating the rabbit too and asks the storekeeper who confirms that both Miranda and the rabbit are present there.

The rabbit sits down with Miranda and tells her how his father died recently and how he used to like the costume.

Miranda and Soren go on their way while the man in the rabbit costume collapses.

Miranda finds a syringe in the glove compartment and Soren tells her it is lethal.

She gets down and uses the syringe on herself, not caring that she might die this time but actually frustrated that she isn't dying.

She doesn't die.

They find a man carrying a stuffed fox in the desert and give him a ride. He talks about how the fox tells him things.

Miranda stops the car once again, finds another syringe and injects herself with it. She falls but isn't dead. Soren tells her that she injected herself with a paralyzing drug. She asks to be put out of her misery and Soren happily complies and bashes her head with a rock.

The man with the fox freaks out.

Miranda awakens and asks him what does his fox think about her and what she must be. He replies the fox is scared of her.

Miranda and Soren then spend the night at a motel where Miranda isn't interested in the sandwich as much as experimenting with how much alcohol she can drink before she dies.

As she's drinking she tells Soren that she should possibly offer herself as a stand-in at wars where both armies can shoot her and the one who gets more points wins. Or that she should volunteer herself to serial killers so they can kill her only and be satisfied rather than hurt innocents.

Both suggestions make Soren laugh.

Two and a half bottles later, Miranda collapses and awakens immediately.

That is her limit.

Soren hopes she doesn't remember that she made him laugh but she does.

As they go about on their way the next day, Miranda encounters a woman sitting atop a trash bin who tells her about a dead cat she found inside.

Miranda consoles her and is on her way back home.

She asks Soren if they can exchange numbers or if he would come to see her again...the guy who is a killer and kind of murdered her three to four times.

But Miranda thinks she's weird too or maybe she gets a high every time she dies because she's very taken with Soren and he with her because she made him laugh that one time.

MIRANDA VEIL Ending Explained 

Miranda goes home broken-hearted when Soren tells her he would never contact her again because they were very different people.

Miranda is questioned by the police and her friends and family but she struggles to tell them the truth about her reality.

Later she sits by the bonfire and meets with a person in a cloak and wearing an animal skull. He tells her he has been around her disguised as the people she met along the way; the rabbit, fox and cat.

He confirms that she will never die but that her mind will continue to grow and she will experience many things.

Miranda makes peace with her new reality and goes to tell her parents that she is different. Actually, she goes to show them. 

She stabs herself in the neck and collapses. Then pops up alive again and her parents are shocked but for some reason, their faces begin to blur. Maybe they were aliens after all or maybe their part in bringing up Miranda has been completed so they are being erased from the universe?

Miranda runs out, relieved and decides to go find Soren.

Soren is losing his mind as the voice has returned and urges him to kill. Soren has changed now and doesn't want his victims to completely die but rather wants them to come alive after the repeated stabbing. He's found some sick joy in doing that and ordinary humans won't cut it for him anymore.

In the last scene, Miranda has finally found Soren and is wearing a dress because clearly this scene is supposed to be romantic and shorts and a tank top won't do.

Soren tells her he's stopped stalking potential victims, she tells him to shut up and stab her already.

She pushes away her hair as he injects her with a lethal drug because somehow he has access to these drugs all the time.

She collapses and doesn't wake up. Soren realizes he finally managed to kill someone but is torn between being relieved he finally killed someone or finally finding a girl who accepts all his eccentricities and his proclivity to want to kill people.

He cries and she wakes up telling him it was all a joke to cement the fact that they are always going to be this weird couple where one is going to want to stab the other all the time and the other one is never going to die.

The movie ends with this weird couple kissing.

The movie is enjoyable although the parts with the animals who were supposed to be a learning lesson for Miranda are a bit dull.

Scare scale: 4/5
