I just finished watching the 2024 horror film Tarot.
This film tells the story of a group of friends who find a cursed hand painted Tarot deck while staying at an old house. Suddenly after they leave members of their group start dying in ways that oddly resemble their Tarot readings. Now these people have to stop the evil force they've released before they all become victims of the fates predicted by the Tarot.
I was not impressed by this film. This was a very by the numbers curse plot. The characters were very interesting and they were no standouts, including the main girl.
This film suffers from using jump scares as its primary scares. Also all the scare scenes are shot way too dark so you hear the jumps scares more than actually see them. Shit, there was a long kill sequence and the screen was completely black.
Tarot was an interesting idea, but didn't even come close to its potential. It failed to connect with the audience and cheated them in the area of scares. It is an example óf how not to make a horror film.
In conclusion I cannot recommend this film.
