Tarot is a new horror film directed, written and produced by Spenser Cohen and Anna Halber. This is both their directorial debuts.
A group of friends decide to have a Tarot reading, but they do not follow the sacred rules involved in this reading. During this lecture everyone will hear what their future holds, but also how death awaits them. They all have to escape their prediction and prevent their own death.
This horror movie quickly comes across as a standard cliché horror movie with few creative ideas. Most of the characters in the group of friends are not really introduced to you as a viewer, so you care little or nothing about them. The group of friends also consists of an oversized number, most of whom play more standard stereotypical horror characters. Most commit horror clichés such as approaching danger or strange things and then shouting hello or asking if someone is there. This only makes you care less about most of them and you can predict that they won't survive much longer.
For a standard horror film, it is not really scary, because you see most scary things coming in advance. Furthermore, the film makes a lot of use of predictable, bland jump scares, where you are actually just waiting for the loud jump scare sound that breaks the constructive silence.
The Tarot card game is not really explained clearly for people who are not familiar with it. The friends just make some jokes about each other's zodiac sign and the sayings that go around with some zodiac signs. The only fun thing about it is that the people you watch the film with are almost playfully making fun of each other's star sign, just like the film does, if your star sign is mentioned at all.
