As a long-time horror enthusiast who has seen more than my fair share of ghouls, goblins, and ghosts, I can confidently say that Margaret Qualley‘s upcoming film, “Victorian Psycho,” is shaping up to be one of the most thrilling additions to the genre in recent memory.
Lately, Margaret Qualley has been shining brightly, with a notable role in one of the most anticipated horror movies due out in 2024. Following her impressive performance and earning a Golden Globe nomination for 2025 in Coralie Fargeat’s film titled “The Substance”, this gifted actress is eager to tackle a fresh take on horror – a chilling prospect that promises to give fans an unnerving experience. I’m excited to share that she will be starring in A24’s suspenseful period-set thriller, which has now made it onto my list of must-see films set for release in 2025.
Based on a Deadline report, the film adaptation of the novel “Victorian Psycho” is set to start filming in March 2025. Actress Margaret Qualley will lead the cast in this gothic tale, joined by Thomasin McKenzie (known for her role in “Last Night in Soho“). Given that A24 has acquired U.S. rights for this project, it’s safe to say we can anticipate a deliciously unsettling experience, and I can hardly wait!
Moreover, Zachary Wigon, known for “Sanctuary,” will be directing based on a script penned by Virginia Feito, who’s adapting her forthcoming novel with the same title.
In this eerie narrative, Qualley assumes the role of an unconventional governess named Winifred Notty. She finds herself at Ensor House – a vast and isolated mansion that carries more dust (both physically and symbolically) than a long-forgotten attic in a haunted house. Initially, her assignment appears routine: teaching etiquette to the children and helping them grasp their family history. However, be warned, this is horror we’re dealing with here, and as any genre aficionado knows, what seems mundane can quickly morph into a breeding ground for terrifying dreams.
As a fervent admirer, I can’t help but be drawn into this intriguing setting, beyond the chilling allure of an isolated mansion. What truly captivates me are the hints, both veiled and overt, that suggest Winifred might not just be menacing, but potentially more dangerous than the spectral entities often whispered about in tales such as this. The moment the staff begin disappearing under enigmatic conditions, it’s evident that our governess is anything but ordinary.
Mentioning that Qualley possesses a fearless and self-assured acting style, particularly excelling in this genre (demonstrated in the success of The Substance), makes her a unique talent to work with.
Instead of overlooking the collaborative energy between them: Wigon is teaming up with Qualley again after their unique portrayal of dominance and power dynamics in Sanctuary. In Victorian Psycho, it seems they’re intensifying the psychological suspense, layering it with chilling gothic atmosphere and mid-century style. To me, this partnership promises endless opportunities for spine-tingling set designs, eerie lighting effects, and acting that will send shivers down your spine.
Although details about the storyline or its creation are scarce, the impressive background of its creators has me eagerly anticipating it.
I’m thrilled just knowing that the project is a forthcoming movie by A24 studio, as their touch always brings a unique artistic flair to horror films. Plus, Thomasin McKenzie’s exceptional talent for portraying characters who balance strength and vulnerability beautifully is truly exciting. And Margaret Qualley? After her remarkable performance in “The Substance,” it’s clear she’s more than capable of taking on an even deeper, darker role.
I’m preparing my teacups and plumping my velvet pillows in eager expectation for the premiere of “Victorian Psycho”. If, like me, you’re already imagining some chilling, suspenseful gothic terror, take my word for it – this is a movie you’ll want to remember on your calendar.
