Victorian Psycho trailer is a brilliant, bloody nightmare

Maika Monroe stars as Winifred Notty, “the sanest person she’s ever met,” in Victorian Psycho, a bloody horror-comedy that’ll have you frankly terrified of the Longlegs and 100 Nights of Hero star.

Described by Mashable entertainment editor Kristy Puchko in her review as “what if gothic horror were an eat-the-rich comedy?” the film follows the plot of a murderess governess (Monroe), appointed to teach the spoiled children of the aristocratic Pounds in late 19th century England.

Directed by Zachary Wigon (Sanctuary) with a screenplay by Virginia Feito (on whose 2025 novel the film is based), Victorian Psycho has a brilliant and brutal trailer out today, all scored to Die Spitz’s impeccable “Throw Yourself to the Sword.”

The Pounds family — played by Jason Isaacs, Ruth Wilson, Wednesday‘s Evie Templeton, and Hamnet‘s Jacobi Jupe — have no idea what they’re in for with the arrival of Miss Notty. But the trailer gives us a terrible idea.

Victorian Psycho hits cinemas Sept. 25.
