BLOGTOBER 10/7/2024: TAROT (2024)

What would you guys call this subgenre? Where teenagers perform a youth ritual (fortune-telling, game-playing, Bloody Mary type rites, etc) and it systematically kills them in some ironic way? WISH UPON is a decent example, as I recall, and last year I puzzled over THE FRIENDSHIP GAME which I still do not understand a thing about and I double dog dare you to convincingly explain it to me. I found TAROT only moderately more explainable; I recognized the main elements and I understood what the message was supposed to be, but past that point I really could not wrap my head around this.

Haley (Harriet Slater) and her friends rent out a rural mansion to party in, and when they run out of booze they smash in a locked door (very strange behavior when you see how goofy and childlike they all are) only to find a mysterious tarot deck. Haley then reads everyone's...horoscopes. Some combination of the card representing the querent and the given astrological advice fuses into a supernatural event that kills that person; the deaths are enacted by freaky ghouls that resemble the cards, but sometimes they're peculiarly mundane. I mean, look, if you solve the lament configuration, groovy demons come and rip you apart with magic hooks and chains from Hell and they reconfigure your whole being. That tracks. In TAROT, on the other hand, one girl draws the High Priestess card and is told "You're a Libra and you want to climb the ladder of success" or something, and then a creature that looks like the High Priestess comes and just beats her to death with a ladder! I laughed and laughed.

I found some things about his movie funny-dumb, and other things confusing-dumb. I know about more woo-woo nonsense than I would prefer to admit here, and there are all sorts of things you can do with tarot decks, I'm sure there is an astrology-related technique--but in the movie this is just unnecessarily confusing. I don't know why it wasn't good enough to just base deaths on tarot cards...especially since a bunch of the astrological stereotypes are wrong here. Maybe I'm projecting but in my experience, everybody knows what their sign is and what the cliches are about it, even if they think astrology is total bullshit; not only are horoscopes popular enough to be in newspapers, but most people find it flattering and interesting to be assigned a personalized category, whether it's your personality test thingy or what animal goes with the year you were born in the Chinese system. So when I'm watching this tarot card movie that for some reason centers astrology, it's very distracting when they say "You're a Taurus, so you make rash decisions" when Tauruses are always called stubborn and lazy, and "Capricorns are rule-breakers" when Capricorns are always told that they're responsible to the point of being boring. Just look up some astro bullshit online if this is the story you're doing, if you don't have a flaky friend who always wants to tell you this shit, it's not hard!

But please don't think this is my biggest problem, that TAROT is not realistic about the pseudosciences. A lot of stuff about this movie made no sense to me, including just the casual banter. The comic relief character Paxton (Jacob Batalon) gets his cards read and asks if he'll marry someone hot or become rich, and his friend says, "She's not genie!", and I'm like...do kids not know what a genie does anymore? Or, we are constantly reminded that Paxton is into true crime--which doesn't affect anything at all, really--and when the gang decides to return to the mansion to look for clues, he goes, "This is True Crime 101, never go back to where it all began!" And I'm wondering...what does that mean? I mean, if you're researching a crime then you might go to the relevant sites, like a home town or a murder scene, but does this guy think that...I mean, what bad thing does he think happens, if you go back to where it all began? What the fuck is he talking about?

Even though I have a lot of questions about why TAROT has to be the way it is, it does have a point: the old "no fate but what we make" bit. Haley was convinced of the veracity of tarot cards when they predicted that her mother would die, and it turns out the cards have inspired some pretty bad decisions since then. But it's sort of weird to conclude that people should create their own futures when the movie's events are entirely motivated by someone making accurate predictions, and magic being real: Eventually the gang learns that the deck was cursed (apparently it killed a bunch of people at Woodstock, which I thought was funny) by the spirit of an angry astrologer with magic powers who was blamed when her grim prophecies came true. I'm just going to spoil the ending because I found it pretty hilarious: To get rid of the spirit, Haley has to read its horoscope. So you get this weird battle where the spirit is flailing around and freaking out while Haley reads its cards and gives it all this new age pop psychology advice about healing and shit. I love the idea that the same exact type of spiritual advice you would get out of your flakiest friend, who begged you to let them read your chart or your cards (or both!), is actually a legitimately powerful weapon against the forces of darkness. I was cracking up. Somebody tell these filmmakers to do crystals next!
