The Substance star Margaret Qualley is set to star in a psychological horror-thriller titled Victorian Psycho.
The movie is set in 1858, and the story will follow “a young, eccentric governess named Winifred Notty (Qualley) who arrives at the remote gothic manor known as Ensor House.
“Winifred’s responsibilities include teaching the children table manners and educating them about their family’s history, all whilst hiding her psychopathic tendencies.
“As Winifred assimilates into life at Ensor House, staff members begin to inexplicably disappear, and the owners of the estate begin to wonder if there is something amiss about their new governess.”
This sounds like a great project for Qualley to jump on board. She said in a statement: “Working with Zach [Wigon] again feels like a rare gift, and I can’t wait to step into this twisted world he’s created.”
The movie will be helmed by Zachary Wigon (Sanctuary) from a script by author Virginia Feito (Mrs. March).
Wigon added: “As soon as I discovered this thoroughly insane and unforgettable character, I knew I had to introduce moviegoers to Winifred Notty.
“I am beyond thrilled that the utterly fearless Margaret Qualley will be bringing this complex antihero to vivid life. Virginia Feito’s screenplay is an audacious blend of psychodrama, satire, gore and mystery. With horror aficionado producer Dan Kagan and the support of Anton and Anonymous, I cannot wait to make Victorian Psycho.”
The movie is based on Feito’s upcoming novel of the same name. Production is set to begin in March 2025.
