Helen Sloan/Courtesy Bleecker Street “Victorian Psycho” is a film that lives up to its brazen title.
Maika Monroe plays Winifred Notty, a young governess who arrives at the sweeping Ensor House in the 1850s, ready to work for the well-to-do Pounds family. But Winifred also harbors a violent past and dark impulses, and a series of brutal happenings soon overtake the mansion.
The film, which is set to bow in Un Certain Regard on May 21, tumbles through tones, swerving through pitch-black humor, empathy, fury and larger-than-life moments. Director Zachary Wigon suggests a term that cleanly sums up his vision.
