Wicked Full Trailer for Maika Monroe’s ‘Victorian Psycho’ Horror Movie​

“I feel this darkness inside of me. I’m like a cage animal.” Bleecker Street has launched their full official trailer for Victorian Psycho, a wicked and wild horror comedy thriller from filmmaker Zachary Wigon. It’s set to slay its way into theaters in September coming up. It premiered at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival and received pretty good reviews there (here’s mine – it’s a damn good psycho film). An entertaining spin on American Psycho but set in Victorian times. In 1858, an eccentric young governess, Winifred Notty, arrives at the remote gothic manor Ensor House. As Winifred assimilates and begins her new work, staff begin to inexplicably disappear, and the owners wonder if something is amiss with this new arrival… These strange happenings stir suspicion that Ms. Notty not what she seems. Starring Maika Monroe as Winifred Notty, along with a tremendous cast: Jason Isaacs, Thomasin McKenzie, Ruth Wilson, Evie Templeton, Jacobi Jupe, Amy De Bhrún, Paul Reid, and Katherine Moran. I’ve seen this! I dig it! A clever, dark, amusing Victorian horror comedy with an impressive cast throughout – especially Monroe & McKenzie. If it was good enough to show in Cannes, you know there’s something unique about this horror movie. 😈 Enjoy.

In the Year of our Lord 1858, an unusual governess named Winifred Notty (Maika Monroe) arrives at the gothic manor known as Ensor House. Winifred’s responsibilities include teaching the children manners and educating them about their family history – all whilst hiding her own psychopathic tendencies. As staff members start disappearing, the owners of the estate begin to wonder if there may be something amiss with their new governess… Victorian Psycho invites us into the mind of a psychopath – trapped in a world she cannot control, living on the border between insurrection and total madness.
