Tarot gets its first trailer, unveiling the upcoming Sony horror movie. Written and directed by Spenser Cohen & Anna Halberg, the upcoming movie follows a group of teens who begin to suffer gruesome fates after breaking a sacred rule of Tarot card reading. The Tarot cast includes Harriet Slater, Adain Bradley, Avantika, and Jacob Batalon.

Now, Sony Pictures UK shares the first trailer for Tarot, teasing the scares and bloody deaths to come. Check out the trailer below:

Included with the trailer is a synopsis of the movie’s sinister plot, which is included below:

When a group of friends recklessly violates the sacred rule of Tarot readings – never use someone else’s deck – they unknowingly unleash an unspeakable evil trapped within the cursed cards. One by one, they come face to face with fate and end up in a race against death to escape the future foretold in their readings.

Even though these modern horror movies have been grossly overlooked, their contribution to the genre’s continued development cannot be denied.

What The Tarot Trailer Reveals About The Movie

Judging from the trailer and the synopsis, Tarot has a number of elements in common with A24’s Talk To Me, which was released last year to positive reviews and a strong showing at the box office. The film performed so well, in fact, that Talk To Me 2 was confirmed several weeks later. Tarot takes a similar premise – that of teens messing around with a sinister force and inadvertently unleashing evil upon themselves – and trades an embalmed, spirit-communing hand for Tarot cards.

While the Tarot cast doesn’t feature any big-name actors, all of its stars have proven themselves in previous work. Batalon, who may be the best well-known of the bunch, is best known for playing Ned Leeds as part of the cast of the MCU’s Spider-Man trilogy. Slater has appeared in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Bradley in Wrong Turn and The 100, and Avantika recently appeared in 2024’s Mean Girls remake.

Clearly, however, audiences shouldn’t get too attached to any of the movie’s characters. As shown in the trailer, each one becomes a target of a different dark entity, and it’s likely that not everyone will make it until the end credits. As far as the evil perpetrators go, the trailer suggests that different figures from the Tarot cards will come to life to hunt their victims, including a witch-like figure called the High Priestess and another that looks like a jester. Hopefully, more about Tarot is revealed in the months leading up to its May 10 release date.
