The LONGLEGS star is now on the other side of the maniac equation.

Bleecker Street has announced that VICTORIAN PSYCHO, which world-premieres at the Cannes Film Festival next month, will open in theaters nationwide September 25. Directed by Zachary Wigon from a script by Virginia Feito based on her novel, it stars genre fave Maika Monroe, Jason Isaacs, Ruth Wilson and Thomasin McKenzie (LAST NIGHT IN SOHO). The synopsis: An eccentric governess [Monroe] arrives at a remote Gothic manor, where strange happenings stir suspicion that she’s not what she seems.”
