It’s quite the feat given the horror takeover this year. We’ve been spoilt for choice, with the likes ofThe First Omen,In a Violent Nature,MaXXXine, andLonglegsall proving to be fantastic additions to the genre.
However, one that went down like a lead balloon isTarot. Dropping in May, the horror film centers on a group of friends who unintentionally unleash evil from within a cursed deck of tarot cards.
As Dexerto said inour one-star review, “Not only are the gang’s adventures poorly written and thought through, but the execution of their – ahem – executions doesn’t leave a satisfying taste.”
Despite the negative feedback, Tarot just landed onNetflixas part of itsAugust lineup, where a fresh batch of new viewers are discovering the movie for themselves.
Assaidby one on X/Twitter, “The Tarot horror movie on Netflix should be listed as a comedy because what the f**k am I watching.”
“This Tarot movie on Netflix is a 4/10,”saidanother, while a thirdadded, “Oh boy Netflix added Tarot, about to see if it’s as bad as people said it was.”

Not everyone has hated the movie so far, however, including this person whosaid, “Went in with low expectations and had some fun with Tarot.
“Great creature design and some gnarly kills for a PG-13 flick. Dialogue was… rough, but it looked cool. Early ’00s high school horror vibes.”
