Tarot
Tarot is a pretty predictable horror film that takes an old deck of Tarot cards and brings the grotesque paintings to life, as revealed in the trailer. College kids find the deck in a mansion rented for one of their birthdays, and decide it would be fun to use them. Using divination, one of them, who naturally has experience reading cards, tells each of the friends how their horoscope combine with the tarot cards into warnings or guidance of their lives.
Then, it gets weird. Each of them starts to be confronted, literally, but the card character that they received, coupled with, again literally, aspects of their reading.
This movie is pretty bad. The acting was bad. The behaviors of the characters trying to not die were just so dumb. The fact that some of them are in disbelief of what's going on, and then suddenly are hardcore believers gave me whiplash. And don't get me started how multiple characters make a 4 hour drive, not concurrently, and it's still night time out.
However, I loved this movie. It was so dumb that it was funny. I enjoyed it as it was just plain fun. I kind of expected this from the preview, but I was pleased that I was enjoying it. It's more slasher than horror, with a few jump scares and quite a bit of macabre moments. You know you're in trouble when a Victrola is used to freak out the characters.
Go see it with your brain turned off. There really are no redeeming qualities because even at the end, stupidity abounds. Two perfectly drivable cars are available to the survivors, yet they walk away down country roads to get back to civilization. What...?
