In today's video, I go on a 30+ minute rant about the new horror film: 'Tarot' and break down why I think it was truly written by A.I. -- and trust me when I say, there's a lot of garbage to be sifted through here. Enjoy :)

Hey Guys -
This is Stark’s gaming channel. Commenting from over here. I apologize if I made a few mistakes with the plot recap. My sentiment about the overall structure and presentation of the script remain; it’s a funny bad horror film that will be forgotten within a few months. That’s ok, it happens. And I’ll continue to get better and better at writing my scripts and getting details right especially when it comes to videos being made after a first-time theater viewing.
Cheers and thanks for watching!
I'm a first-time viewer and I think this video was awesome! It got the main things you wanted to talk about down even if you might have missed some things (not that I would know, I didn't watch the movie lol) and you have a very calm but fun personality. Keep up the great work!
Months?? I think weeks. at best.
So it’s just zodiac final destination
LITERALLY BUT WORSE
Except nobody has an interesting death except magician girl. That one would've been the boring death in Final Destination.
But not fun 😂
Ouija as well.
Avantika really deserves to be in better movies because the stuff Shes been in this year has not been that good and in my opinion, she seems pretty good at both acting and singing
At least she always shines in every project, on mean girls she and reneé are the best part On here idk cuz im not watching this 😭🤣
“He’s not a bad guy , he’s a bad actor” 💀
Me when I don’t know the occult so I talk and talk and talk.
They never specified any sexuality of a character in this movie. I don't get how you came to the conclusion that the hanged girl is a lesbian when she has an ex-boyfriend (The guy that died by the train)
After she said " he's an earth sign that's why he was found dead on the ground" I WAS JUST DONE. LMAO. I LAUGHED SO BAD.
If I could have pirated this movie there are so many things I could roast harder
Too many funny things to jot down in the notes 😂
If that’s the case, where the heck will the corpses of the Air signs be found?? o-o
@@ellamayo9045 as a air sign, I wanna know 😂
Like that’s the kind of shit I say when my Taurus sister trips and falls 😂
I was expecting an anthology film with each tarot card being a different meaning to each main characters death. Then I realize I thought of a better story in my mind than the actual movie.
I would be interested in yours, legitimately
That would be so cool tho?? Like... The High Priestess tarot would show that it's a revenge kill for abusing their power?
@@mochiandturtles5642 Or The Hermit card could be someone dying because they isolated themself from the people who could help them. That would be so much better than... well, this.
@@BE-ew2pt Ooh good Idea. I'm kinda bored rn so why don't ya'll come up with deaths based off of tarot cards?
wait i’m confused, i just saw the movie is that not what happened?
"death of the ginger birthday girl" is such a good obnoxiously long band name/song title
Perfect 🥂😂
You could tell me that's the name of a panic at the disco song and I'd believe you
can we also discuss the fact that these filmmakers just saw a widely used cultural practice and decided- "oh shit! witches do this! witches = equal scary!"
I was thinking that when that old lady was talking about the woman who cursed the cards, and was like 'she was hunted down and accused of witchcraft' implying this was false, as she immediately says she does some black magic ritual to 'bind her soul to the cards' and then afterwards I was like, ok so they were right to hunt her down and call her a witch.
@@Not_Always Ikr. Like, yeah, she very much was a witch and the hunting down was justified.
So insulting.
The "Magician" card is a Mage(mystic/witch), not a stageshow trickster.
So basically the people who made this movie "Tarot" don't know about Tarot at all. And they just made a clueless mockery of it.
Right, the magician is usually a pretty positive card. I also found it funny that she shuffled the cards for each person but always draws a major arcana card for the one in the center of the wheel.
@@Not_Always well they needed cards they could make monsters out of. But yeah, around 9 humanoid characters out of 22 major arcana out of a total 78 card deck? It's unlikely they would all get one of those humanoid characters...
But that could just boil down to the spirit manipulating what was pulled, tho.
@@JTX30000 God, imagine any of them ending up with like... the 9 of swords of something. The monster you could make out of that could be so metal.
@@toolatetothestory maybe, but the fact they used the 6 of swords for the stabbing scene instead of the 10 of swords which basically means ruin, and literally has a picture of someone getting stabbed by ten swords on it, proves they didn't know what they were doing.
@@JTX30000 Right, 10 not 9, my mistake!
But yeah. It's not like it would have been hard to just... Google the meaning. It takes like five seconds
This could have been good if they made it like a test, cause every tarot card has a light/shadow side. So if you past the test you live but if you don't and you choose the shadow then the card gets you.
That’d definitely make for a more interesting premise! Have the Major Arcana entities be more like neutral arbiters of fate or something, tying in more with the themes of divination and choices that determine later outcomes rather than just killing because vengeful angy ghost.
That's what I thought the premise would be. It's only Death that should pose any actual threat, but every other arcana should give a chance at survival.
It's like they chose them at random with no correlation to the characters either. The Priestess could've went to someone who's faithful, the Jester for someone who laughs at the misery of others, the Hanged Man for someone who's pessimistic, etc. What a waste of an interesting plot.
That would be too authentic to Tarot. This movie Rick Roll'd the art of tarot. 😂
@@lemoncholyme 😂
SAW for teens, but supernatural.
"Horoscope readings to die for" would've been a better news paper title than "You die today" as a horoscope reading in a news paper.
Yet another disguise foto Agent 47
I wish the main blonde girl was actually the killer simply bc i think it would be funky and she could have planted the cards in the house or just done a ranfom reading, and decides based off the cards how shell kill everybody. (And then the films lack of research wouldnt be such a detriment bc it would be a part of her character that she didnt do the proper research, and not a major issue with the film lol)
i knew it was gonna be absolute nonsense when the premise was "oh my god, the death card" as if it isn't a super chill card like no one there even cares for the basic research i'm
Then which card represents literal death
SAME! I knew this movie wasn't for me when I heard the card descriptions they had in the trailers. They weren't _technically_ wrong because the cards are up for interpretation, but some of their descriptions seemed way off from the traditional meaning. Or a meaning you would only get with other different cards clarifying, not the card alone.
They showed the fool and said "this card means that you feel boxed in" and I was like, "The fool, really? The reckless abandon card, that shows a man in the vast expanse of nature about to waltz off a cliff? That's the boxed in card and not the hanged man?"
@@alexv3372 The death card CAN mean death in context, it just almost never does. The tarot has 78 cards, and there are cards that have a lot more dangerous energy. A tarot reading is about what all the cards are in relation to each other when you draw them. Cards like the 9 of swords, the Tower and a few others can point to negative things, but no one card by itself just means DEATH
@@kevinandorsusie right, the hanged man means stagnation
Which cards in your opinion can have “dangerous energy “ and which ones should be used in the movie?
Didn’t “Cabin in the Woods” lampoon this type of cookie-cutter horror filmmaking over a decade ago? 🤔
Except Cabin in the Woods was actually good
@@Dr_Mortis_SCP Yeah, I never saw the whole thing (Still working up to actual Horror movies, currently stuck more at Pg-13), I had a friend tell me that it was a very faithful, goofy unpacking of the horror tropes within it.
Edit: referring to "Cabin in the Woods" not "Tarot" :)
@@lumisherbert5682 It was definitely pretty goofy at times, but it was also a masterful breakdown of the entire slasher horror subgenre
@@Dr_Mortis_SCPI mean cabin in the woods was purposefully goofy
I work at a movie theater and always invite my brother to go to stuff like this. We went on a monday afternoon. There were like 7 other people there. We were making fun of the whole thing from way in the back, laughing at the stupidity the entire time. Our favorite was the one reading where she mentioned a bridge coming true, and one of the characters literally stating something along the lines of "..B-b-but... we're on a bridge right now!".
everyone getting their tarotussy ate
Hahaha booooo!
I just cackled like a cartoon witch stirring a gd cauldron 😂😂 10/10 no notes
I do tarot reading as a cool little party trick. Do i believe they have some truth behind the meanings yes, but most of it is interpreted by the person whos getting a reading. Not once have my cards tried to kill me...
that you know of . . . .
Same.
Or others Dun Dun Dun Dunnnnn 😮
I love that idea so much, especially when ppl go crazy over the death card 😭 it scares people so much
@@Haventgonefar real😂 istg the same people who are terrified of the Death card will pull The Tower and think nothing of it.
the fact that jacob and avantika - the two actors in this movie that has the most street cred - got the best death scenes tells me that the writers can actually write, they just don't want to put any effort in unless they need to
tarot cards have different meanings based on whether they’re upside down or right side up so clearly research wasn’t done lol. this had potential to be great, just in the wrong hands
No they don't. The positive/negative is already covered by the meaning of the card, it is all in how it is drawn in context with the other cards or its position in a spread. The concept of reversals is relatively knew and most serious tarot readers do not bother with it because it is nonsense.
it could have been intriguing, with some sublety and knowledge of tarot
@@Not_Always they literally do though. Having a card reversed turns it into a more “negative” meaning. The lovers is usually a really good card since it talks about deep love and attraction but once it’s in reversed, it becomes something about weak bonds/lack of romance (depending on the person getting the reading). I’m sure it’s still a new thing no doubt but the card definitely does change in meaning to some degree when it’s reversed
@skinwclker5241 that's literally not true
@@Not_Always perhaps there’s different ways of reading tarot but the one I’m familiar with does have different meanings based on whether they’re reversed or not. Like death and death reversed meaning 2 different things.
The reversed tarot stuff has been around since the 90’s so it’s not super new, so it’s not necessarily nonsense
The 6 of swords is not a negative card and has nothing to do with getting stabbed by swords
I was hoping someone mentioned this. So true! I don't know how the script was written, but it wasn't by anyone who knew how the cards work. The priestess and fool being malevolent figures is just as tangentially bizarre.
What does the sword means?
As you were coming to the end of your review, I thought that the guy who showed up at the end would turn out to be the Jester. The shape-shifting monster who would provide a dark, twist ending. "Fuck fate? No, Fate fucks you!"
This would have been hilarious and honestly more intriguing
Better yet, it's the Jester from 2023's THE JESTER
Too bad Trevor Henderson had to be involved in a crappy movie. He's a great creature artist.
agreed, he's super talented and a huge inspiration to me so i was really excited for this movie. massive let down.
The creatures were the standout from the trailer I saw a while back
Amen to that, chief.
So in no way does this movie actually use the mythology of Tarot?
Oh and its spoopy season, we will never let that down.
I guess not
What? You're telling me you don't have a hidden booze room leading to a haunted basement??? Come on!
😅
I thought that was the standard in every house!😂
Like hidden exits and crawl spaces!
I was surprised when he mentioned that a girl knowing about horoscopes and tarot readings was such a character buff
I knew so many girls in high school who loved crystals, star signs, and tarot readings.
It’s the way they had her say it; you have to see it to get it but maybe I’m just weird :))
the stupidest part is tarot is not primarily used in conjunction with astrology for a reading, so no one would be using tarot like that to give a general reading
It actually wouldn't be unusual for a twenty-something woman to be a self-taught reader. I was. A trip to Barnes and Noble will do it. Most of the more in-depth books to have information about astrological and numerological correspondences. I have three books right now that would be enought to "buff her up" And saying "oooh, I taught myslef " wouldn't be an unexpected brag. So I wouldn't find that bit all that cheesy.
However, it is considered very very very impolite to handle someone elses's cards without their permission, let alone read with them. Eespecially not a deck that someone broke into a locked room and grabbed. Some readers won't even buy used decks because they might have someone else's negative energy. (When I saw Stigmata, I wasn't bothered by the "haunted rosary" although the Church will assure you stigmata can't be passed on that way" The thing that pissed me off what that this woman was going through all this pain and suffering over a text that you can pick up an English translation of at... Barnes and Noble.) So, drunk or not, strike one for cheese.
It is not considered impolite in the sense that if you saw a deck of cards just sitting on a counter and you started looking at it that it is bad. I buy tarot decks second hand, does that mean that every person who handled it before has to give consent to any person that touches it after? That is just another tarot myth, along with your first deck has to be gifted to you.
@@Not_Always If a deck is on the counter in a New Age shop, it's kind of understood that it's there to be pawed over so potential buyers can see what the deck looks like before they buy. And a secondhand deck has usually been sold, given away or inherited and is therfore the property of the person it was given/sold/bequeathed to. I have no problem buying them myself. I think that superstition was started by deck publishers when the used deck market started cutting into their profits.
i liked the designs of the monsters, that’s about it though
scary movie 6 : the tarot deck
The most interesting takeaway I got from this video is that I never realized how macabre it was to play the game "Hangman" in elementary school 'til just now.
Thanks for saving me 14 bucks, I guess, lol.
Man I've had NOTHING to do with tarot cards (besides a friend had a deck once) and even I know they're not at all literal. The writers couldn't even do a single google search lol
My idea for how they could have made this more interesting:
1. Have the first two cards drawn represent a past event (Card 1) that the victim-to-be was a part of that they feel responsible for, which in turns influences how they are in the present (Card 2), and then the Death (Card 3) has a rememant of said event present or takes place at the site.
For instance: C1: Ned has been given time and again to give aid, yet every time he backs out (He's seen another student, Peter, getting bullied, but doesnt help because hes afraid of getting roped into the bullies' hit list, or he'd be found out as the stitch because teachers fsr have a knack of dropping names even when told NOT to, and thus Peter ends up dying, either by his own hand or the bullying going too far)
C2: This therefore pushes Ned to become overly helpful to others, to the point of mildly annoying or exasperating others, as a self-coping mechanism to mentally ease that guilt; or, to tie it to the Jester, he becomes a class clown to try and distract the bullies from their doings, oftentimes getting caught by the teachers and labeled a "bad influence" and "troublemaker" because of it
C3: Either the Jester has Peter's face/voice, it attacks Ned at the site/inside an illusionary recreation of the place Peter lost his life, or even have Peter appear in the background
2. Over time, both the characters and the audience piece together that each one of them, even the blond tarot-reader, has had a part in Peter's predicament, either as one of his direct tormentors, someone who didn't/couldn't help him, someone who did try to help him but did it too little too late, or unknowingly gave the bullies the means to torment him (like one of the girls gave Bully a spare key to her father's studio, never knowing he would use the building to beat up Peter out of sight or where Peter had initially died before they moved the body to another location and staged it as a botched mugging or something). And then, cherry on top, the Mansion they AirBNB'ed and read the tarot cards at happened to be owned, or at least tended to, by the family of Peter. So the whole time, it wasn't just the Tarot-Master's deck haunting them, it was the wrathful spirit of Peter using the aid of the deck to come after them and take payback on them for contributing to his death
Wait, you mean to tell me we have a movie where the Tarot cards have their figures come to the real world as twisted parodies of themselves to cause chaos? Persona 3 if it was shiiiiiit
Based on your description of the main character’s experience with her mom, it sounds like the film is alluding to the accuracy of tarot cards rather than the character’s premonition. That would at least explain why you got no further allusions to her abilities thereafter.
I knew this movie wasn't for me when I heard the card descriptions they had in the trailers. They weren't _technically_ wrong because the cards are up for interpretation, but some of their descriptions seemed way off from the traditional meaning. Or a meaning you would only get with other different cards clarifying, not the card alone.
They showed the fool and said "this card means that you feel boxed in" and I was like, "The fool, really? The reckless abandon card, that shows a man in the vast expanse of nature about to waltz off a cliff? That's the boxed in card and not the hanged man?"
i went to see this with my friends last week, and we thought the entire beginning was an ad
I have an idea for an alternate take if you wanted to redo the concept, but keep the tarot card theming and premise, and I came up with while making food.
Main Character (or MC for short) gets a Tarot set as a birthday gift. They learn how to do readings and for the most part, the readings are normal/nothing acursed or paranormal. Eventually a family member falls ill and they try to do a reading to find out if they'll live. The reading informs MC that their loved one will pass away soon. Desperate, MC starts trying to find a way to prevent this. They seem to find a spell/ritual, but either it wasn't intended to work at all or it was meant for something else, but MC changes to fit their needs and performs it.
An entity is summoned as a consequence of fucking around and finding out. MC tries to get out of paying the price, but to amplify the stakes, the spell or ritual fails to keep their loved one alive and now they are being hunted down by the entity. I'm thinking it's kinda simular to Ged and his shadow from Earthsea. MC manages to get away, but the entity is always looking for them, which sends them on the run, unable to truly make friends. Time passes to present day.
MC is at a college and gets invited by birthday girl to join them for a celebration in the woods. MC is hesitant (due to their prior trauma and the entity), but agrees. At this point, MC has learned to use their Tarot deck as a means to check how close the entity is at any given time, but it's a two-way mirror. If the MC looks out for the entity, it manages to catch her sent and comes looking. Same events play out at the cabin. Group pressures MC to do a reading, MC is wary, but does it. Entity is able to find them due to MC's meddling.
With the MC trying to get away again, this time with the group of friends, the entity starts killing the friends to get the MC. It isn't because they angered it too, they're just in the way. Two possible endings can happen here, depending on the tone you're looking for.
Ending 1: *Good ending*
MC sees 1 or 2 of the friends die, coming to the realization it will continue to kill everyone if she doesn't confront it. MC decides to take an L for the group and let herself die for her original crimes to save everyone else. The survivors remember MC as very brave person and it ends on their gravestone.
Ending 2: *Bad ending*
MC continues to run away, like a coward, until the whole group dies. Now, with the blood debt paid, the entity has no reason to continue chasing MC. MC is the sole survivor and questions in the end if she did the right thing.
I'm a bloody fanfic writer and I can pull a better Tarot-based horror movie concept out of my ass than a damn AI or a group of Hollywood writers! It's embarrassing how sloppy and lazy these horror movies are doing these days.
Love the video! Can't wait to see more!
Holy moly what a comment! Thanks for sharing. New video on The Strangers drops tomorrow and it’s kinda like this recap was here. Hope you enjoy!
I like this a lot!
Which tarot card can be used for this rewrite
@@alexv3372 I don't think it would focus on any specific card, but the deck in general.
Ya cooked
And left no crimbs
8:30 speaking as a guy who was in a friend group with my ex during and after our relationship I can tell you it happens😂
Never had that happen with my friends but hey I guess it does, oops! lmaoo thanks for the comment
Unfortunately I've already watched this atrocity disguised as a movie.
Fortunately you made me laugh
Imo i kinda now wanna see something like yu-gi-oh horror movie where a guy had such a freakout due to being outsmarted he died and now possesses his deck.
Honestly, with the premise and the Shadow Games of the original manga, Yu-Gi-Oh would work really well as a horror series
me and my mom watched it In theaters ^_^ the cashiers told us it was " the worst movie they've ever watched " so i guess we were warned .
It’s unfortunate because I follow the guy who did at least some of the creature designs for the movie and his art is so good, it’s a shame they couldn’t have been in a better movie…
Not me over here just wanting a copy of the deck and not actually giving a shit about this garbage Hollywood shat out. 😂😂😂
My family grew up watching horror movies, my mom taking me and my older sister to all the big horror releases when they came out and having a decent collection of VHS and DVDs at home. We had nothing to do on a rainy Sunday so we went to go see it and we laughed the entire time along with the rest of the audience. If it wasn’t for Jacob Batalon I would have left early lmfao.
My favorite moment in this movie was when the characters were looking up stuff about the curse, and Ned Leeds, while looking at the computer, asks what it says.
The only reason I was excited for it was because Trevor Henderson was working on monster designs for ittt noooo 😭
What are you talking about, I loved that movie, I loved it when the high priestess tarot monster just said “the arcana is the means by which all is revealed!” Then tarot’d all over the place
(I’m kidding I never saw the film)
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can we also appreciate that throughout as their friends are dying the surviving characters have ZERO emotional reaction to their friends deaths.
I’m going to watch this. I do enjoy bad movies
It’s like they took the tarot system from phasmophobia and piled on more bs
I heard this movie was bad, and a thing I've started doing this year is, when I get too stuck in my head, I go to the theater and watch the worst horror movie on the docket. Naturally, I watched this for that reason…but HOLY HECK it was bad, even for my budding tradition, it blew the other bad horror movies I've watched out of the water. I honestly hate how many times I mentally corrected you because I remembered the plot so well, I curse my stellar memory. Big point: LITERALLY the point of the scene where they throw the cards in the fire is to show that the cards CAN'T be burned, even if you were drunk I don't understand you getting that mixed up. Also, the Tarot Master scene where she takes on the cards is way worse than you made it out to be - she said she'd been planning this for years, and yet she didn't seem to have a plan, she just invoked the spirit and it immediately read her horoscope and killed her and she accomplished literally nothing. But I won't continue to correct you because this movie is not worth the energy. Your main points are still one hundred percent valid.
This is how you drop a comment. Everyone else trying to correct me just kinda insulted me and the video. It’s not THAT deep at the end of the day, and yes, I made some errors but nothing too crazy. Appreciate your words here nonetheless ❤️🥂
And idk to me during the movie it looked like they cut away when the cards were literally burning to a crisp lmao. Must have missed something there.
@@Stark-Cinema No…they throw the cards into the fire, and then spend like a full two minutes freaking out because the cards AREN'T burning. Again, I'm really not sure how you could possibly have missed that, it wasn't remotely subtle or even brief, they MILK the characters' reactions to the cards refusing to burn. Maybe you saw them throw the cards in the fire and then spent the rest of the scene doing something on your phone…? I mean, I guess I couldn't really blame you if that's what happened…
So basically....I should just watch it for the Jester scene?
Idk if this is interesting to you but Trevor Henderson is responsible for some (if not all, I am not sure) of the concept art behind the monsters. That is all I know though, so I can’t say if he was also involved in shooting the scenes or just the monster designs.
He just did the designs. The designs are genuinely awesome. 🥲
They’re putting a bad name on tarot :(
Taro is based on the book horoscope, now i have not read or warch the movie but i do wonder if the book is any better
I was expecting like a bad quality video but man this is so much better keep it up man!
yeah, was expecting a picture of the poster with bad quality and a shitty audio. this was good.
I've seen a few content creators that have high production but have only like few thousand subscribers and are uploading consistently without a lot of views. I guess they do it because of passion and not necessarily monetary gains since some videos barely hit 10k views.
i enjoyed the movie but yeah, it was objectively not great XD
i think its quite silly to watch with friends :]
You talk a bit like a non douchey Ben Shapiro.
Awesome video!
Wow, thanks! lmaooo
As someone who does tarrot and is so tired of the myth that tarrot cards are evil, I refused to watch this movie. It's like people making a horror movie out of the Bible
The Bible do be scary though….
@@Stark-Cinema definitely, but still shouldn't be turned into a horror movie 😭
Im a manager at Regal, we have a contract with Pepsi right now that forces us to play at least 20 to 30 minutes of previews before our movies start. It's a 10 year contract we can't break so I just tell all of our customers to come 10 minutes late to their showing.
You can’t just bring up deepfake Tom Cruise character and NOT show a pic 😭
I should have dug up the actor's IMDB -- I couldn't find ONE good clip of the dude on marketing material lmao
XD EVERY video I've watched about this movie has just said how Jacob Batalon is the only good thing about the movie. LOL
I was thoroughly disappointed. It was a dud, and the ending was so underwhelming 😢
Man I like your style and presentation type but the work ethic and ...diligence? is lacking on this particular video.
To me it is always a bummer to know someone is making a project does not care about the topic or presentation enough to learn the details and answer the things they "don"t know"
it is just as hard to ignore in a UA-cam video as it is in a crappy horror flick.
it makes me want to do all the missing due diligence for you and watch the movie to gather the details that you didn't care to retain. just to complete the experience I have just invested my time into .
a well thought out, spoken AND researched video would be so much more engaging because you yourself are very entertaining ...but not knowing basic plot points and order of events makes it hard to justify the time used for this rant.
I say that as a someone who almost exclusively watches long form content(just very happily spent 6 hours learning about Midsommar) and also just watched this in its entirety.
You do not have to care about the film but you must definitely care about the video you are making... its no legendary horror film but could be a phenomenal break down and critique on your end.
subbed .
I saw the movie and it’s obvious he wasn’t paying attention. He got a lot of things wrong. You don’t even need to research anything, just watch the movie. I don’t know how he missed these things
Agreed. Even having not seen the movie a ton of thins he said and ignored could've been solved with the smallest bit of research, or actually paying attention. I love to be a hater, it's funny, but if I'm gonna shit on a movie and post it I'd at least like to be a little accurate y'know.
@@kyeshagoodyear6560thanks for the comment ❤️🙏
@@owltakizawajust comment with your rebuttal next time - appreciate the engagement either way
Thanks for the sub - what did I get wrong? I think I messed around talking about 6 characters instead of 7 but the plot is pretty basic; pretty sure I got the plot correct.
Let me know!
Thanks 🙏 ❤️
I thought this movie was an adaptation of a movie in my country the Philippines of the same name(not written in ai btw it came out many years ago.)
but this is...... is just bad.
the plot of the film is basically about this girl who is the MC who has the ability to read tarot cards and predict the future but terrible things start to happen n stuff.
Light roast… if that’s your closest I don’t trust what you call boring… lol 💜💜
Omgggg thissss lolol😂
when did ben shapiro start doing movie reviews?
I hate how she says “fuck fate” as if they won or something, girl like 6 of your friends died 😂😂
Sheesh. Avantika has been in 2 terrible movies
Why is this in my recommendation right after I watched it ??? 🤣 Like i just walked out of the theatre 😞
Something happened to me every time I went to the theater, I later learned that by using my phone to purchase tickets for said movies using Google pay. Google uses data from everything we search, watch, games we play ectera. To test this theory I decided to purchase movie tickets with cash and dun dun dun dunnnnnnn no ads, no recommendations, nothing. Google is watching... 😮
Laziest death scene? I point you in the direction of In The Name Of The King 3. Dolph Lundgren manages to lay on the ground in the most casual way possible while bad guys literally run and fall on his sword. Me and my homies almost stopped Bad Movie Night because we couldn't stop laughing over how bad that scene was.
It would’ve been good if they made the movie longer to focus on accurate history and storyline
I have a friend who's been into tarot for a few years and when I saw the trailer for this movie, I started dying laughing, because clearly the movie makers don't actually know how tarot works.
Confused why some actors in Tarot are actually decent at their job but put into this garbage movie.
It’s hard to get consistent work as an actor so even when you’re good you take whatever you can get sometimes
32:55 They are cursed so I don’t think burning them away would get rid of them
Let's be honest, in real life they would have looked at the cards and ignored them to get more alcool lol
but i dont think those "bad movies" die becuase all those communitys that specificaly watch the WOST movies on purpose.
Lots of them do lose money but yes some of them can take on cult followings
First vid of yours I’ve seen, loved it and like your setup and style, the not looking at us the entire time but punctuated eye contact really effective. Look forward to more.
Welcome aboard
It sounds like the makers of the Gallows went into cryosleep and woke up just to slog this one out
Why neuter a scary movie with a PG-13 rating?
It’s just lame these studios are turning out weak sauce, horror movies with rating to get tweens and young teens in seats instead of going all out
I actually found it super interesting and I'm glad it wasn't that scary. I've never heard of using your zodiac to do a tarot reading and I feel like the movie could have been a little better if someone bothered to actually research Tarot card readings beyond the first page of Google.
it would’ve been cooler if the jester and magician played a role in each of their deaths like potentially orchestrating situations to test each character and if they failed obviously they’d die but if they passed they’d live because of this whoever survived could’ve conducted a plan to get the magician and jester back into the box while banishing the vengeful spirit
The monster designs were really good, they were made by an Instagram artist named Trevor Henderson. His art is incredible, but the movie is bad. I honestly feel bad for Trevor, hes such a good artist, but his name is attached to such a bad movie.
Holy shit. They made thanksgiving, one of the best horror films from last year. I’m looking at you Sony Pictures
I would chill with this dude 😂
Shame this movie didn’t do so well, since the designs for the tarot monsters was done by the guy who created Sirenhead. He did a good job on the designs only to have it be in a shitty movie
Biggest surprise: Main character is a blonde woman?! In 2024?!
it looks dumb fr
I thought I was tripping with pre movie previews they were so long like 40ish mins
Honestly, I thought that this movie was great and I love horror/thriller movies. It's like corny on purpose I feel which isn't a bad thing. When the one guy who gets hit by a train looks down and sees the newspaper Iwas like ooooookkkk. The jumpscares and shots are filmed pretty well. Idk maybe I just decided not to hate.
I never decided to hate, it was just an innate emotion that arose from the experience of watching this film because this movie was brutally poorly written even, and especially so, if it was meant to be a satire or a 'purposefully bad' movie. Contrary to any beliefs, most so-bad-its-good movies still lose money for the studios. So at the end of the day I just call it what it is; a shitty movie. I make fun of it also because, well, I can, and it's fun for me to expose poor writing when studios try to justify over-paying directors actors and producers for it. Cheers!
You missed many many plot points in the movie, so of course those things didn't make sense to you. For example "Didn't they burn the cards!!!" Uh, no... The cards didn't burn, that's why they called the woman to come there to help. But of course many things in the movie didn't make sense anyway. Just saying that you missed a lot.
I know. I said sorry for this in my comments. thanks.
I love the "its so bad its good" movies but this...was not that. I agree i think AI wrote this shit.😂also I read Tarot and I've never got a "ohhh you're gonna dieeeee" readings because the death card doesn't even mean that, its death or rebirth about ANYTHING, honestly in most readings its a good thing if you're someone hoping for a change in your life. Do i believe its real or not, idk, because as long as I give some solace or advice even if the advice is just coming from me interpreted the cards then in that sense, yeah they work, but is it supernatural, probably not. I'm not a crazy crystal hippie chick either who lives by her Tarot cards, its just fun.
I havent seen it but i have roedicted this film would have been a stupid and basic "card shows what monster kills and the movie would probably not undercover tarot." If you told me to make a movie based on Tarot cards i would dont something like a tim Burton stop motion film ecplaining the fools journey which is what the major tarot arcana are. A story about a fool and their journey while sprinkling in some minor arcana elemts like ace of cups or three of swords.
Ntm how it makes actual tarot practitioners look...
the movie would’ve been 100 times more entertaining if they used yu-gi-oh cards instead of tarot
So you'd say the movie is... Tarot-ble? Yeah yeah, I'll see my out. I'm out of material anyway.
I won't lie, I'm glad that at least b-list movies have continued to be just as trash as they've always been. I think I'd go insane if it weren't for b-movies. It's the only thing Hollywood won't fuck with(if they have a choice).😂
Ik its late and someone already said this but the scene about the cards burning youre talking about, the cards actually dont burn, thats the whole reason they look for the tarotmaster character in the 1st place
ahhhh yes sorry the movie was so boring I guess I missed it
