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.

A Penny Dreadful brought to glorious, wicked life, Victorian Psycho never slows in its corseted dance toward the inevitable bloodbath. Absurd as it is witty and grotesque, it’s a perfect period horror-comedy.

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.

3/5

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.

2/5

Once all the details are on the table, and we’ve digested the comedic, period-piece gag, Victorian Psycho starts feeling like it’s begging for audience attention through side-quests, and it’s a little hard to sit through.

It is enjoyable enough in the moment that it is hard to say it’s a bad film, even if it doesn’t amount to much.

3.5/5

Victorian Psycho is a fresh take on age-old horrors that stays in line with expectations for the better ... Monroe is a fantastic maniac.
