Featured reviews
From the outset, "Tarot" embraces the tropes and clichés we've come to expect from horror films. The plot is predictable, following the usual beats of eerie encounters and supernatural suspense. However, this predictability isn't a drawback; instead, it provides a sense of nostalgia and comfort. The film knows what it is and delivers exactly what you anticipate, making it an ideal choice for a relaxed Sunday evening.
The characters and their arcs may not surprise seasoned horror enthusiasts, but they are well-executed and engaging. The cast delivers solid performances, bringing enough charm and personality to keep viewers invested. The cinematography and special effects are competent, contributing to the film's overall eerie atmosphere without trying to over-impress.
In conclusion, "Tarot" may not revolutionize the horror genre, but it doesn't need to. It's a solid, enjoyable movie that provides a satisfying dose of supernatural suspense. Perfect for a laid-back viewing session, it offers nothing new but serves up classic horror entertainment with a touch of nostalgia. If you're in the mood for a no-frills, entertaining scare, "Tarot" is definitely worth a watch.
The movie is full of bad dialogue, corny humor, stupid characters that make idiotic decisions, cheesy jump scares, and a boring story full of cliche twists. Everything is so predictable that I called most of the deaths and the ending was extremely bad.
This is just another example of a studio tossing money at a bad idea knowing it'll still make some profit. I do not recommend wasting your money on this movie.
I could tell from the trailer that the film wouldn't be great, but I was unprepared for just how bad it actually was. It feels a lot like something from well over twenty years ago: the 'teenagers unable to escape fate' story line is highly reminiscent of Final Destination while its variety of creepy killers reminded me of Thir13en Ghosts - only it isn't anywhere near as good as either of those films.
Directors Spenser Cohen and Anna Halberg take the easy route by delivering predictable jump scares accompanied by very loud noises, and it soon gets very tiresome and repetitive. Unlike Final Destination and Thir13en Ghosts, Tarot doesn't even provide viewers with gory death scenes - all of the kills are extremely tame and most are off screen. The teal and orange colour scheme adds to the dated feel, and there is an over-reliance on CGI.
A more unoriginal and forgettable horror movie it is hard to imagine - this is a serious contender for worst horror release of the year so far (and that's saying something).
It has a few jump scares and the tarot card lady is creepy looking and over all product value wasn't too bad.
Jacob Batalon provides a few laughs but a lot of laughs do not land and are pretty cringed but then again I think that how his character was written.
Most of the college kids are throw away character and don't really get much back story on them.
Pacing is good and has a tried a true run time of hour and half which works well for most horror movies.
I would recommend this movie if you like horror movies.
