Tarot: Tödliche Prophezeiung

Its not as bad as the reviews and ratings suggest. Its perfectly wachable and entertaining enough for a one time watch. What it lacks is originality. If you have watched a few young adult /teen horrors with supernatural elements, this movie will feel very predictable. But it will not bore you if you like such movies. Just don't watch expecting anything new or ground breaking. Acting could also have been improved in some places. Visual effects were good. With a better & more original story, this could have been quite popular but it is what it is. Watch it if you are okay with predictable but entertaining horror movie, ignore if you are looking for a deep / original / masterpiece writing.

I don't pretend to be clever enough to fully understand AI, but I believe creation by AI involves a trawl though the interweb to find out what's been successful before, and to fuse these elements into a narrative framework - also based on what's worked in the past.

In other words, string a load of cliches together and hope for the best. I'm not saying this film was written (and directed) by AI, but it might just as well have been.

And here we are. Group of kids (yup) creepy house (yup) strange artifact (yup) Are you sure this is a good idea? (yup) oh dear, we've been cursed (yup) death is stalking us all (yup) let's split up (yup) gruesome deaths (yup) elderly sage who knows the back-story (yup) the only way to survive is to do this (yup) enough twists to make it interesting...

Well no. On the last point we get a resounding nope. This is dreary, predictable, formulaic and dull. Not even the jump-scares work. None of the cast are talented enough to make a bland script sound good; everyone else involved was either out of their depth or on autopilot.

Tarot is a very predictable, silly and cliche ridden horror film. The dialogue is screamingly ridiculous and the characters are more cardboard than the cards themselves. This film has very few, if any, redeeming features and as the well trodden story unfolds (complete with absurd, lazy and unsubtle back story), it's very hard to stay awake. The writing and direction are laughable and the actors are clearly stifled by a terrible script. But the deeply annoying, often completely inappropriate music that drones on throughout ensures that a second viewing is definitely not on the cards! Not recommended.

"Tarot" is a film that strikes a chord with fans of classic horror, delivering a storyline that feels comfortably familiar yet still manages to entertain. While it doesn't break any new ground in the genre, it offers a delightful escape for those looking to unwind with a good, old-fashioned scary movie.

From the outset, "Tarot" embraces the tropes and clichés we've come to expect from horror films. The plot is predictable, following the usual beats of eerie encounters and supernatural suspense. However, this predictability isn't a drawback; instead, it provides a sense of nostalgia and comfort. The film knows what it is and delivers exactly what you anticipate, making it an ideal choice for a relaxed Sunday evening.

The characters and their arcs may not surprise seasoned horror enthusiasts, but they are well-executed and engaging. The cast delivers solid performances, bringing enough charm and personality to keep viewers invested. The cinematography and special effects are competent, contributing to the film's overall eerie atmosphere without trying to over-impress.

In conclusion, "Tarot" may not revolutionize the horror genre, but it doesn't need to. It's a solid, enjoyable movie that provides a satisfying dose of supernatural suspense. Perfect for a laid-back viewing session, it offers nothing new but serves up classic horror entertainment with a touch of nostalgia. If you're in the mood for a no-frills, entertaining scare, "Tarot" is definitely worth a watch.

This movie is just ok and its another movie about college kids dying in strange ways. It is pretty predictable movie plot and especially after the girl does the tarot reading you basically know what is going to happen to each of them.

It has a few jump scares and the tarot card lady is creepy looking and over all product value wasn't too bad.

Jacob Batalon provides a few laughs but a lot of laughs do not land and are pretty cringed but then again I think that how his character was written.

Most of the college kids are throw away character and don't really get much back story on them.

Pacing is good and has a tried a true run time of hour and half which works well for most horror movies.

I would recommend this movie if you like horror movies.
