When a group of friends recklessly violate the sacred rule of Tarot readings, they unknowingly unleash an unspeakable evil trapped within the cursed cards. One by one, they come face to face with fate and end up in a race against death.
Your fate is in the cards.
Tarot is an upcoming supernatural horror film set to be released on May 3, 2024. Directed by Spenser Cohen and Anna Halberg, this film marks their feature directorial debuts. It is based on the 1992 novel Horrorscope by Nicholas Adams. The film is produced by Leslie Morgenstein, Scott Glassgold, and Elysa Koplovitz Dutton, with music composed by Joseph Bishara.
The story follows a group of college friends who rent a mansion in the Catskills for Elise's birthday. As the group deals with the awkward tension from a recent breakup between Haley and Grant, they decide to lighten the mood by reading tarot cards they find in the basement. However, things take a dark turn when the cards seem to predict gruesome deaths for each of them.
The main characters include:
As the horror unfolds, the friends realize each of their deaths is linked to the tarot readings they performed. With the help of Alma, a tarot expert, they learn about the cursed history of the deck, which dates back to 1798 and has been responsible for numerous tragedies. The group must find a way to destroy the deck to save themselves from its deadly grip.
Though Tarot has faced critical scrutiny, it has been a box office success, grossing $49.3 million on an $8 million budget. This contrast between its financial performance and critical reviews may intrigue audience members.
As the release date approaches, horror fans are eager to see how this blend of supernatural elements and college life turns into a chilling narrative. Will the friends escape their fate, or will the cards spell their doom?
