The Victorians

In the gritty underbelly of Amsterdam, a band of rogues scheme to outdo one another as they prey on unsuspecting tourists. While Abba fights his obsession with the sadist Danny, his romantically naive brother, Rey, falls for the femme fatale, Faith. Masquerading as a tour guide, Danny enjoys luring tourists into his web, while Virgil, the deviant hotel owner, is there to pick up the pieces. Alfi, the devious junkie, remains Abba's faithful liege, but the worm might turn if promises of taking him to Spain go unfulfilled. The fragile balance of their dance falls apart when a cocky American steps onto the scene.

Directed by Dwight A. Gabbert, The Victorians leans on a strong ensemble — Ali Rodney, Stephen Underwood, Samuel White — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 0.
