Tarot’ Tries To Play On Gen Z Fears, But ‘Bodies, Bodies, Bodies’ Does It Better
The Big Picture With tarot readers just a few swipes away on TikTok and the uptick of interest in astrology over the last several decades, the idea of a horror feature based on the practice was always right around the corner. Earlier this year, a story finally made its way to the big screen with Spenser Cohen and Anna Halberg’s co-directorial debut, Tarot.
Featuring some familiar faces and up-and-coming performers, Tarot boasted a call sheet consisting of Jacob Batalon , Harriet Slater , Avantika Vandanapu , Humberly González , Olwen Fouéré , Wolfgang Novogratz , Adain Bradley and Larsen Thompson . ‘Tarot’s Box Office Success Close Although the film was largely panned by critics, currently seated on Rotten Tomatoes with a bleak 18% critics’ rating, it still drew in audiences when it was first released into cinemas back in May. With the summer blockbuster season kicking off, Tarot nudged itself alongside other titles that dropped in the spring, like The Fall Guy and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, giving movie-goers something other than an action-packed experience.
Just as we’ve seen over the last few years with other titles like Rob Savage’s The Boogeyman and just about anything that horror maestro Ari Aster puts out, Tarot is, at its core, a story about surviving trauma. Try as they may to break free from the cards they’ve been dealt, it isn’t until the very end of the movie, when Haley , comes to terms with the grief that’s been plaguing her since her mother’s passing, that the possessed deck is vanquished.
