Maika Monroe plays a murderous governess in Victorian Psycho

Maika Monroe plays Winifred Notty, a Victorian governess with a violent streak in Zachary Wigon’s film Victorian Psycho.

Winifred arrives at Ensor House, a Yorkshire estate, to teach the children of Mr. and Mrs. Pounds.

She begins killing people in the household, while her narration mixes dark humor with unsettling scenes.

The Pounds family is shown as cruel and unpleasant, and Winifred has a suspicious past.

The film adapts a novel by Virginia Feito, who wrote the screenplay.

Reviews differ on whether the horror-comedy works, though they note Monroe’s committed performance.

The film is scheduled to open in theaters on Friday, November 13.
