Maika Monroe plays a governess who unnerves an entire household in Victorian Psycho, which opens in U.S. theaters Friday, Nov. 13. Bleecker Street is releasing the R-rated film, and Regal and Harkins both list the Friday opening and a running time of 1 hour, 42 minutes. Bleecker Street has announced the theatrical release. It has yet to announce a U.S. streaming or digital rental date for the film.
Showtimes and caption options
Start with Bleecker Street’s film page or look up your ZIP code on the theater’s site. The release date is national, while the listings tell you whether a particular theater has booked it and which sessions have accessibility features. Harkins lists closed captioning and assistive listening for the title. Check the specific session when you book if you need either service.
Regal also has a separate open-caption listing. At an open-caption screening, the words appear on the theater screen for everyone. Closed captions use a separate device, so check with the theater if you want to reserve or pick up one. The separate listing matters if you prefer captions on the screen, since the main film page can show different sessions.
The governess at Ensor House
Director Zachary Wigon sets the story in 1858. Monroe’s Winifred Notty takes a job at a remote English manor, where she is supposed to teach the children and fit into the household’s routines. Staff members start disappearing, and the family begins to suspect its new employee. Jason Isaacs and Thomasin McKenzie also appear in the film. The distributor’s official trailer shows the manor and the formality that governs life inside it, along with the dark humor Monroe brings to Winifred.
Virginia Feito wrote the screenplay from her own novel, published in 2025. The book’s publisher describes a story told from inside the governess’s mind, with the rituals of upper-class Victorian life as a target for satire. Feito’s earlier novel, Mrs. March, also follows a woman whose unease grows as she reads sinister meanings into the behavior of people around her. In It Follows and Longlegs, Monroe played characters trying to make sense of threats around them. Winifred brings the threat into the house herself.
The film had an earlier audience in May at the Cannes Film Festival, where it was selected to close Un Certain Regard, a program separate from the main competition. This week’s opening brings the same film to U.S. movie theaters nearly six months after its festival debut.
