‘VICTORIAN PSYCHO’ Starring Maika Monroe Opens Nationwide November 13 as Bleecker Street Unveils New Poster

Maika Monroe stars as a mysterious governess in VICTORIAN PSYCHO, opening nationwide November 13 from Bleecker Street.

Bleecker Street is preparing to bring VICTORIAN PSYCHO to theaters nationwide on Friday, November 13, 2026, with a new poster variant highlighting the film's gothic horror atmosphere and star Maika Monroe. The upcoming period thriller, directed by Zachary Wigon, arrives following its selection for the Un Certain Regard section of the 2026 Cannes Film Festival.

Set in England in 1858, VICTORIAN PSYCHO follows an eccentric governess portrayed by Monroe who arrives at a remote gothic manor to begin a new position. As increasingly strange events unfold within the household, suspicions emerge that the new governess may not be what she initially appears.

The film also stars Thomasin McKenzie, Ruth Wilson and Jason Isaacs, bringing together an ensemble for a story that combines Victorian-era social conventions with psychological horror and dark humor.

Written by Virginia Feito and directed by Wigon, whose previous credits include SANCTUARY, VICTORIAN PSYCHO explores the unsettling circumstances surrounding its central character as her arrival disrupts the household's established order.

The newly released poster places Monroe's character at the center of the film's marketing campaign, featuring an extreme close-up of her screaming against a darkened background. The artwork incorporates the tagline, "The new governess is all the rage," emphasizing the film's combination of period imagery and disturbing subject matter.

VICTORIAN PSYCHO is produced by Wigon, Dan Kagan, Sébastien Raybaud, Nick Shumaker and Liz Siegal. The film's release follows its appearances on the international festival circuit, including Fantastic Fest 2026, where Horror Movies Uncut previously covered the film.

With its nineteenth-century setting, eccentric central character and combination of psychological horror and period satire, VICTORIAN PSYCHO offers a different approach to the genre than the contemporary supernatural and slasher releases traditionally associated with the November theatrical calendar.

Bleecker Street will release VICTORIAN PSYCHO in theaters nationwide on Friday, November 13, 2026.
