Critics Consensus

An enjoyably blood-soaked lark that thrives on Maika Monroe's ferocious lead performance, Victorian Psycho delivers plenty of wicked fun and literary wit.

It’s a guilty pleasure, but at least it’s a guilty pleasure for the literate, starring an actor who has just begun to reveal everything that she has to give.

Maika Monroe’s unhinged young educator Winifred Notty takes the trope into gory new terrain in critic-turned-director Zachary Wigon’s (Sanctuary) playful but punchless period horror.

Victorian Psycho isn’t just all dressed up with nowhere to go, but equally aimless when it loses its composure: Losing your mind and surrendering to the darkness, in the movies at least, should be more fun than this.

Viciously hilarious piece of Gothic entertainment that serves as a showcase for Monroe’s newly revealed comedic talents

6/10

While the movie certainly delivers inspiring flashes of macabre and sharp comedy, alongside Monroe’s fearless performance, it mainly drifts between multiple horror ideas without ever finding solid ground.

3/5

Victorian Psycho is marketed as one for the sickos, and while it’s disturbing enough, it ends up being more of a silly and twisted gothic romp than a truly haunting bloodbath.
