Have you heard about the latest horror film to hit UK streaming services? It's called Tarot and it's already causing quite a stir among viewers. Some are calling it so bad that they turned it off within minutes of starting it, while others are criticizing it as just plain stupid.
Directed by Spenser Cohen and Anna Halberg, Tarot is based on the novel Horrorscope by Nicholas Adams. It follows a group of college students who find themselves facing gruesome deaths after using a mysterious Tarot deck. Despite being released in UK cinemas back in May, the film is now available to buy and watch at home on platforms like Apple TV+, Prime Video, and the Sky Store.
But before you rush to spend your money on this horror flick, you might want to hear what others are saying. Many viewers have branded Tarot as awful and lacking in any kind of redeeming qualities. Some have even questioned how it managed to get a theatrical release in the first place.
One viewer, known as Kemichels, gave a scathing review, warning others not to waste their time on the film. They described it as a poor man's version of Final Destination with lackluster kills, no character development, and run-of-the-mill jump scares that are all too common in horror movies these days. It's safe to say they weren't expecting much from Tarot.
And they're not alone. Another viewer, MSUYouTube, also had a negative reaction to the film, declaring it terrible just three minutes into the movie. They even questioned whether horror fans have low standards or something. Ouch.
Lon Harris was equally unimpressed, describing Tarot as the dumbest studio horror film of the year. They criticized the film's plot of cursed Tarot cards coming to life and killing people off-screen for no apparent reason. They even went as far as to say that it would be the worst horror film of the year if it weren't for Night Swim, another horror film released in the same year.
But not everyone hated Tarot. Some viewers actually enjoyed its campy elements and creature design. Josh Levesque had low expectations going into the movie, but ended up having fun with it. They praised the creature design and the PG-13 film's surprisingly gnarly kills. However, they did admit that the dialogue was a bit rough.
Meanwhile, MsVDavis had a different experience with the film. They watched it on Netflix and ended up regretting not watching it when their kids were home. They even joked about being scared and rocking back and forth in fear.
Despite the mixed reactions from viewers, critics were not kind to Tarot. It currently has a lowly 18% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with many calling it creatively bankrupt and lacking in passion. Empire described it as a personality-less horror that only cares about delivering cool kills, while The Horror Queers podcast criticized the screenplay for having some of the dumbest characters ever seen in a horror film.
Despite the negative reviews, Tarot was a financial success, grossing over $49 million worldwide on a budget of $8 million. It's now available to buy in the UK on Prime Video, Apple TV+, and the Sky Store.
