Maika Monroe and Jason Isaacs star in Zachary Wigon’s twisted film. The Gothic horror comedy “Victorian Psycho” follows a murderous governess, Winifred Notty, played by Maika Monroe, as she navigates her new role with the Pound family. The tale intertwines Gothic horror tropes with humor, as Winifred, who is already mad, becomes the film’s central menace. Virginia Feito’s screenplay, based on her novel, takes a cheeky approach to the genre, enhanced by Wigon’s direction. Monroe delivers a standout performance, blending menace and humor, while the film delves into themes like class conflict and societal cruelty. “Victorian Psycho” was reviewed at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival and is set to release in the U.S. on Sept. 25.
