With Victorian Psycho now in theaters, I'm excited for Daily Dead readers to check out the movie this weekend. This wonderful weird film is one of my favorite movies of the year and is written, directed, and acted with an admirable confidence that had me smiling throughout Victorian Psycho's runtime. During a recent press day, I had a chance to talk with director Zachary Wigon and co-stars Maika Monroe and Jason Isaacs about working together to bring Virginia Feit's novel and screenplay to the big screen.
"Something wicked is brewing behind the walls of a remote gothic manor. VICTORIAN PSYCHO follows an eccentric governess whose arrival sets off a bloody string of strange and deliciously disturbing events. Maika Monroe stars as Winifred Notty, a woman with a dark past and a vicious appetite for bloodshed, giving into her most violent urges. What follows is a gruesome parade of savagery and increasingly grotesque acts of violence."
