Tarot Soundtrack: Tarot is a 2024 American supernatural horror film written and directed by Spenser Cohen and Anna Halberg, in their feature directorial debuts. The film is loosely based on the 1992 novel Horrorscope by Nicholas Adams; the production itself was originally titled “Horrorscope” before being renamed Tarot in January 2024.
Tarot was released theatrically in the United States by Sony Pictures Releasing on May 3, 2024 (moved up from an earlier planned date of May 10, 2024). It follows a group of college friends whose birthday celebration turns deadly after they use a mysterious antique tarot deck for a reading, and are then hunted down one by one according to the cards they drew.
Despite a rough critical reception, Tarot was a box office success, grossing roughly $49.3 million worldwide against an $8 million budget.
