The Astrological Horror of Tarot: A Spine-Snapping Good Time
The latest horror movie from Screen Gems is a wild ride
In the latest scary movie from Screen Gems, Tarot, a group of college friends find themselves in a haunted mansion, battling supernatural forces that threaten to tear them apart. Written and directed by Spenser Cohen and Anna Halberg, this spine-snapping horror film is willfully ridiculous, with an admirable faith in its own absurdity.
“It’s tar-oh, not tar-it!” one of the characters quips, as they delve into the ancient art of divination via tarot cards. Little do they know, they’ve just unleashed a curse that will haunt them for the rest of their lives.
The film’s setup is clever, with a lengthy introduction sequence that explains how the astrological calendar shaped the personalities and destinies of the seven college friends. As they engage in a game of tarot reading, they unwittingly summon a malevolent force that will stop at nothing to claim their lives.
 The friends soon realize they’ve made a grave mistake
With its infinite number of potential victim-killer combinations, Tarot is designed to let audiences talk about themselves in the same vein as horror video games like Until Dawn or The Dark Pictures Anthology. As the friends try to survive the night, they must confront their own astrological signs and the secrets they’ve been hiding from each other.
 The deck of cards that started it all
As the body count rises, the remaining friends must band together to uncover the secrets of the mysterious deck of cards and the true nature of the curse they’ve unleashed. With its campy nonsense and mean-spirited monsters, Tarot is a wild ride that’s not to be missed.
 The friends must flee for their lives
If you’re a fan of horror movies with a sense of humor, Tarot is the perfect film for you. With its ridiculous premise and over-the-top action, it’s a slasher film that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
 The final showdown is a real nail-biter
So grab some popcorn, gather your friends, and get ready for a spine-snapping good time with Tarot.
