Overview
- On Thursday, July 30, Bleecker Street released the official full trailer for Victorian Psycho and confirmed a U.S. theatrical release date of September 25, 2026.
- The film is rated R for strong bloody violence and brief sexual material and the trailer foregrounds a darkly comic, unhinged tone rather than straight horror.
- Maika Monroe stars as Winifred Notty, an eccentric Victorian governess whose concealed psychopathy coincides with unexplained disappearances at the remote Ensor House.
- Production details reported across outlets note Virginia Feito adapted her 2025 novel, Zachary Wigon directed, filming took place in Ireland, and Monroe replaced Margaret Qualley in the lead.
- Victorian Psycho premiered in Cannes’ Un Certain Regard in May and drew mixed-to-positive notices that singled out Monroe’s performance and the film’s balance of satire and gothic suspense, a framing likely to shape audience reactions this fall.
