We're a little slow on posting this but earlier in the week we went to see the new horror movie Tarot we didn't see alot of stuff about it but we went to give it a try and it was a pretty good movie. I felt it was a pretty standard supernatural/monster movie your basic story is this
a group of friends and spending the weekend at a spooky mansion out in the middle of know where and they find some creepy hand painted Tarot cards in the basement that looks like the The Warrens' Occult Museum in the The Conjuring and they take them upstairs and and the main character Haley (played by Harriet Slater) ignores the number one rule of Tarot "do not use another person's deck" but she proceeds to tell her friends fortunes using the cards not knowing that they are cursed and after the weekend the group of friends head back to college. once there the grotesque creatures that were painted on the cards have come to life and are hunting down Haley and her friends one by one in the manner in which their fortunes were told and it is up to Haley and her friends to figure out how to stop the killings and and curse before it is too late!
now this movie I would say it kind of reminded me a bit of Final Destination and maybe a little bit of Cabin in the Woods because while watching this I could see those guys in the office placing bets on what happens in this movie lol it was like that very formulaic type of horror movie.
I didn't find it scary and I didn't feel there was any real jumps or anything it wasn't gory either and it was kinda funny at times. The first kill with the ladder was a bit brutal but other then that you don't get alot of blood or anything
The one cool thing is the creature/monster designs that is what I think I loved most about the movie and was one of the reasons I wanted to see it I do like a good creature design. You don't get to see them fully being this is a pretty dark movie as in most of the monster action takes place at night or in low light conditions but what you do see is pretty cool. You do get to see more of certain ones then others like the Fool/jester, the Magician and the character of "Death" but the other ones you don't get to see much of them.
but other then that I thought the movie was pretty good I enjoy it for the most part and if you want to check it out I would say go for it.
