Victorian Psycho Hits Theaters Friday
Victorian Psycho, starring Maika Monroe, opens in theaters nationwide this Friday, November 13, and the first wave of reviews is out.
Monroe plays Winifred Notty, a governess who arrives at a remote English manor in 1858. Soon after she settles in, members of the staff start disappearing. Jason Isaacs and Ruth Wilson co-star as the family who hire her. Zachary Wigon directs from a script by Virginia Feito, who adapted her own novel.
Critics are mostly praising Monroe even when they have issues with the film itself. The Guardian calls it an “unsteady horror romp” but says Monroe has a blast. SlashFilm gave it a 6 out of 10, calling it an erratic mix of humor and horror.
Other reviews are split. ScreenRant called it bloody fun, while Slant Magazine said it has no bite. iHorror, which saw it at Fantastic Fest, says it is more fun than it has any right to be and that Monroe owns it.
Monroe is also busy with They Follow, the sequel to It Follows, which has already wrapped filming.
