Acceptable though average horror movie with genre usual tropes: supernatural acts, thrills, chills and strange events, while the roles scream and panic her way through most of their scenes. Premonitions, curses from the past, blood, terrible deaths, and of course, many scares, are the ordinary ingredients of Tarot, a typical Slasher starring a very young cast, in which terrifying serial killers run wild, executing a criminal spree, while choosing his victims by zodiac signs. Based on the novel Horroscope, written by Nicholas Adams in 1992. The main issue happens when our protagonits read their horoscopes with a box of strange old tarot cards discovered in the basement: Elise gets The High Priestess; Lucas gets The Hermit; Madeline The Hanged Man; Paige The Magician and Paxton The Fool. Grant receives The Devil; Haley herself gets the Death card.
Starring the young star Harriet Slater (Belgravia), Tarot also features the performances of Jacob Batalon (Ned Nelson in Spiderman: Homecoming), Alana Boden (Lucy) and Avantika Vandanapu (Bad Girls, 2024). This is so-so horror wiith some surprising screams at times, and it is certainly better than most other films of the same genre concerning a diabolic game, the mysterious Tarot, but the horrifying action lasts in its apparition, in fact the title card shows up nearly twenty minutes into the run-time. . Dealing with a horoscope seance by means of a Tarot deck resulting in a an evil presence turning up here and there, not realizing how dangerous it is. One of the film's strongest points is the fact that there's quite a lot of fun to be had with the supernatural aspects of the storyline. An entertaining, relatively inoffensive member of its genre that displays little attention to characterization and plot. This starts off at the very routine holiday reunion, subsequently occuring mysterious events, as the camera lurks suspensenful behind it's actors and beside them and above them and everywhere else. A straight-up horror movie, with its jump-scares and run-of-the-mill characters who can't see the obvious risks and dangers that beset them. Although it packs some flaws, it still manages to be fairly entertaining. The script is predictable and there are no big twists from what I have previously seen. Still the atmosphere is built up slowly and there are not many over the top scenes or special effects to distract from the story. I am not so satisfied with the twisted final though. It seems too abrupt and was disappointing a little bit.
In Tarot (2024) stands out the sinister and tense musical score by Joseph Bisara, a compser expert on dark atmosphere , as he proved in Malignant, The Free Fall, The Cello, Insidious: The Red Door, Lullaby, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It , The Curse of La Llorona, Body Cam, The prodigy, Annabelle Comes Home and many others. The flick was mediocrely directed by Spenser Cohen, Anna Halberg in their film debut. They had previously been producers and writers of The Expendables 4 (2024) , Distant (2024), and Moonfall (2022). Rating: 4,5/10.
