They Used the TAROT

 

Jeri Jacquin

Coming to Bluray and Digital from writer/directors Spenser Cohen, Anna Halberg and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment comes the fright when you pick up a deck of TAROT.

Deciding to celebrate Elsie’s (Larsen Thompson) birthday in the Catskills, friends Haley (Harriet Slater), Grant (Adain Bradley), Paxton (Jacob Batalon), Madeline (Humberly Gonzalez), Paige (Avantika) and Lucas (Wolfgang Novogratz) rent a mansion for the event. Wandering the castle, they end up in the basement and find a box of weird tarot cards. Knowing that Haley has a bit of experience, they decide she should do readings on everyone. The cards are very different but Haley does her best.

One by one they begin to experience brutal attacks with the birthday girl being the first. Alma Astron (Olwen Fouete) is someone the group finds online to help explain what has been happening. They learn the origin of the cards and their owner and told they should destroy the cards.

But will the cards destroy them first!

This is a horror genre fans dream come true with constant dark scenes, creepy music and unusual death-by-cards bloodiness. Once the cards are in play, it becomes quite clear that nothing is going to stop the fates from happening to anyone. Once it becomes clear that each death is a match for the cards, there isn’t any way to stop what is to come.

The cast is large, but that tends to happen when there is a stretch of ninety-two minutes of horror. Once the horror is set in motion, the pickings are there for the tarot to take. The cinematography lends to the eerie feeling director Cohen is trying to bring with the dingy basement opening the door to dark scenes. It’s also a mystery in itself.

Fans that have a home entertainment library filled with the macabre and the bloody, then TAROT should be the next addition to that collection. Turn out the lights, huddle together and keep your hands off the cards.

In the end – your fate is in the cards!
