Victorian Psycho Ending Explained: Maika Monroe's Secret Mission Revealed
Maika Monroe plays a deranged governess in Virginia Feito’s adaptation, which mixes gore and comedy and opens with Bleecker Street.
- On Friday, Bleecker Street releases Victorian Psycho, directed by Zachary Wigon, in theaters. The film features Maika Monroe as a deranged governess, marking a shift from her typical roles in horror films like Longlegs and Watcher.
- Based on a 2025 novel by Virginia Feito, the story follows Winifred Notty arriving at Ensor House. Monroe plays the protagonist, who serves the Pounds family and their two children, Evie Templeton and Jacobi Jupe.
- While known as a "Scream Queen" for fleeing killers, Monroe goes on the offensive in this performance, displaying an archly hilarious, outward intensity. "There's so much freedom in this role," she says of the character she will "miss the most."
- The project showcases a different side of the 33-year-old actress, having initially premiered at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. Monroe noted in an interview that the role required her to be "very outward" compared to her usual internal style.
- Returning to her breakthrough role, Monroe is set to appear in They Follows, the sequel to David Robert Mitchell's 2014 hit. "I'm so proud of" her previous work, she says, though she remains focused on her latest character.
