Maika Monroe, known for her breakout role in It Follows and recent work in Longlegs, is set to headline the screen adaptation of Victorian Psycho, a polarizing horror novel. The film promises to blend psychological terror with gothic aesthetics, marking Monroe's return to the genre that launched her career.
While plot details remain under wraps, the novel—praised for its unsettling atmosphere yet criticized for its graphic content—has divided readers and critics alike. Monroe's involvement has already sparked excitement, with fans eager to see how she interprets the complex, eerie protagonist.
Production is expected to begin later this year, with a director and additional cast yet to be announced.
