Post Strike Cinema 24' - Tarot

2024 the year of supernatural/horror films continues with Tarot. Now if either there was a straight to DVD, straight to Paramount+ streaming, it would be Tarot.

Based on a 1992 novel, Horrorscope, by Nicholas Adams. Tarot stars Harriet Slater, Adain Bradley, Avantika Vandanapu, Wolfgang Novogratz, Humberly González, Larsen Thompson, and Jacob Batalon.

Tarot was so short and sweet. Roughly 90 minutes, which I will give it points for. However the ending was so abrupt, it was like the entire cast and crew contracted covid and they called the shoot.

With a small budget of only eight million, they will surely make some cash, however this was not a good film. Yes I jumped a few times at some jump scares, however some of the Tarot card characters coming to life was just too much.

Star rating below.


After The Fall Guy being a little disappointing, this was disappointing to have wasted my Tuesday evening. I did second guess seeing this film, I would have preferred Abigail, but with limited sessions, you can only do what you can only do.

Hopefully some more quality films like Civil War land soon. I am excited for the next Planet of the Apes. For now though, Tarot can only score, 1.5 lonely stars. The extra half a star is for the short and sharp running time!
