Tarot (2024). 1h 32m | PG-13

“Tarot is the latest teen horror to hit the big screen, but the film is completely undeserving of a cinematic release.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI could tell from the trailer that the film wouldnu0026#39;t be great, but I was unprepared for just how bad it actually was. It feels a lot like something from well over twenty years ago: the u0026#39;teenagers unable to escape fateu0026#39; story line is highly reminiscent of Final Destination while its variety of creepy killers reminded me of Thir13en Ghosts – only it isnu0026#39;t anywhere near as good as either of those films.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDirectors Spenser Cohen and Anna Halberg take the easy route by delivering predictable jump scares accompanied by very loud noises, and it soon gets very tiresome and repetitive. Unlike Final Destination and Thir13en Ghosts, Tarot doesnu0026#39;t even provide viewers with gory death scenes – all of the kills are extremely tame and most are off screen. The teal and orange colour scheme adds to the dated feel, and there is an over-reliance on CGI.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA more unoriginal and forgettable horror movie it is hard to imagine – this is a serious contender for worst horror release of the year so far (and thatu0026#39;s saying something).”
