Virginia Feito wrote, and Zachary Wigon directed, ‘Victorian Psycho.’ Genre veteran Maika Monroe stars in the movie, alongside Jason Isaacs, Ruth Wilson and Thomasin McKenzie.
Set in Victorian England, ‘Victorian Psycho’ follows Winnifred Nottie (Monroe), an unconventional governess who arrives at a remote gothic manor to take up a position with the wealthy Pounds family. Tasked with educating the family’s children, a snobbish Andrew and an overlooked Drusilla, Winnifred quickly finds herself navigating more than just the challenges of her new teaching position.
As she attempts to manage the household’s complicated dynamics, Winnifred must also contend with the unwanted advances of Mr. Pounds and the growing jealousy of Mrs. Pounds. But when a series of strange occurrences begins unsettling both the family and the household staff, suspicion spreads throughout the manor. Before long, questions emerge about Winnifred’s true identity and whether the mysterious governess is hiding secrets of her own.
