I'm completely done with crummy "horrors" where a group of bland or annoying teens/20 somethings get picked off one by one, all the while making dumb choices, with endless annoying screaming and lazy jump scares. Thanks for confirming my suspicions! 😂
the directors could have saved their money and given to the poor or something..........
You’ve just described every Friday the 13th movie, 😂😂😂
As a fellow GenXer I felt every single ounce of your "I can't take this garbage anymore" walk-in
Yep. It was torture.
Just that initial walk in...😂😂😂😂
I just saw the movie, for free. One of the first things I noticed is supposedly they drank a shit ton of alcohol and nobody sounds or acts drunk. Nobody is hungover the next day either.
I said the same thing
Yep. Bucket of empty alcohol bottles and they are stone sober.
This is why I have largely given up with modern Hollywood horror movies. They've lost their edge. I am so tired of the cookie cutter, politically correct nonsense from Hollywood. I'm waiting on Maxxine and Terrifier 3, both independent horror movies I might add. Hollywood horror movies from the 1970's to the 1980's were trend setting masterpieces. Now, they are pitifully awful.
You really don't watch enough horror do you.
@@user-sd2xj3dk3eclock that fraud
This was the nail in the coffin for me with the big studio horror films. How in the hell they could let shit like this pass is beyond me.
I agree man. I used to love going to theaters when a new horror movie came out. We got lucky in 2022 with all the great horror movies that came out that year but now it's like I pick and choose because most horror movies in Hollywood are cookie cutter
abigail was good ride. great acting performances
Thank for taking the bullet for us. You shall be rewarded for your valiant efforts. 😂
You're welcome!
In a time everyone expects "elevated" stuff, it seemed like they took the worst and most predictable traits from jump-scare laden teen horror and fused it together.
The trailer reminded me of that really boring Ouija movie from 10 years ago...
This was the laziest script I've seen in a long time, especially in terms of the scares.
This is exactly what I expected from the trailer! Modern horror is more often than not a fail for me because of well… everything you mentioned. 😬
The first kill sequence did give me hope, and then it just fell off a cliff.
Man, we were on a roll too... so many good to great horror movies this year... then we get this. 🙄
I mean we got imaginary and Night Swim this year so it isn't like we didn't get some bad major movies. This is how every year work a handful of great films a crap ton of bad and average movies with a lot of good movies to pad out the rest of the year
The Ahole
@@aaronrumph3291 Ah! Right! I completely forgot about those Oscar winners. You're right!
This year is different though... I swear! Look at all the fantastic horror movies we've seen this year (so far): Immaculate, The First Omen, Late Night With The Devil, Abigail and Infested. This is a banner year for good horror movies so far.
@diskjokk it's better some of the other years of the past decade for sure
@@aaronrumph3291 Terminator & T2 is kinda like a sci-fi horror action flick
I've read the book "Horrorscope" that this is apparently based on. It is one of my favourite thrillers from the early 90s, ghostwritten by John Peel. It was a non-supernatural slasher where the killer murdered his victims based on their star sign (e.g. he garrots someone in front of a mirror for Gemini, and gores someone like a bull for Taurus). It was a sure bet as a horror movie left as it was! I am so pissed that they turned it into another generic CGI supernatural story. I don't think I can bring myself to watch it. Why do this? WHY? 🤣
Dude there was definitely potential in the story, but my god did they botch the hell out of it.
Wow! Itis very rare if ever, that I have heard you refer to a movie as absolute trash! This one must be realllllly bad
Yeah you know when I call a movie absolute trash, I mean it!
Honestly I'm not even invested in seeing it because when I last went to the cinema they showed the trailer for this and I swear it could have been a cliff notes version of the film as it seemed to show EVERYTHING. Put me off completely.
Id never saw the trailer, thank goodness we watch older films from the 20th century oh yes the good years
It looked like trash from the trailer, and the commercials where they had the Tarots jump scaring moviegoers had me thinking all the stunts means the movie is pretty bad
Agreed
The trailer looked so abysmal to me so I def. won't be checking it out after this review. Thanks for doing the dirty work lol
I’m a tarot student and thought the trailer looked hilarious. Not scary or interesting, just funny. I do hope they at least release the unique deck as merch
So it's in the cards not to see the movie? Maybe the one about that Deminc 8 Ball will be better?
I watch most of what you recommend. I also took a chance with a pg13 "horror" called 'Lisa Frankenstein' I watched it with my daughter and was pleasantly surprised.
I loved Lisa Frankenstein.
Lee, I seen this trailer but wasn’t to sure about how I feel about it all I know this year isn’t best of horror movies.
I saw the trailer and decided it wasn't a priority watch, decided to watch the release of Phantom Menace instead of it, I might watch it next weekend since the new Planet of the Apes seems like the only thing good coming out
I just saw it. On the positive side the production value was okay and acting semi passable. However, the script, cinematography, horror that all happened to occur off screen, and cliché as hell story made it a lousy movie. It really did feel like A.I. on this one. Look, if you really want to watch it at home free on streaming okay, but do not see this in cinema. I actually have AMC pass and almost walked out on this on, but I stuck it out.
this film is the new final boss for Lee which was previously Brahams: The Boy 2
“why Brahams The Boy 2!? why!?”
Haha I think you're right.
You think you might have seen the trailer? 😂 The trailer has been attached to almost every movie I've seen in theaters for the past few months, and the tv spot was constantly on tv and social media.
Luckily most movies I see in theaters are press screenings. At these screenings, they don't show trailers before the movie.
Oh no! I’m so sorry that you had such a bad taste for this one. 😕
It’s sad when I dislike a film this much. I could completely hear in your voice how disheartened you were when you were naming the filmmakers.
Crazy enough, I enjoyed it. 🤷♀️ I’m questioning everything I believe now. Hahaha and it’s true, they are good looking. I kept hearing, “Pretty Boys and Pretty Girls.”
Honestly, your points are totally valid. I think I was in a really good mood?!?
It's fun to rip a bad movie apart though, so all good.
It has potential but it was meh, the trailer showed all the deaths , I will buy it on Blu-ray I collect
I absolutely loved it too! Maybe because I went by myself and had a child-free night and also being a tarot reader. The Hermit scene in the subway was the scariest scene for me😅
Dang it I was just about to watch it but not now I hate how they take an interesting fun concept for a scary movie and then just water it down to made for tv with predictable sequences. Such a bummer
VERY predictable. Shockingly.
I knew it even on the trailer it just looked like another generic horror film we are familiar with
I enjoyed it…
Dumb or young
If I wrote this script I would have concentrated on the woman who was a witch and done a movie about her and her daughter being killed and her sacrifice herself would have been a great storyline and then into the future of a little small clip for part 2 of the young students finding the tarot cards
I mean...yeah, horrible movie. Maybe the second worst of the year. But stil...I think this is Oscar worthy compared to Imaginary.
So far I’ve got imaginary as the worst followed by night swim lol, seeing this tomorrow I wonder how it will rank against those
Haha I can't argue with you there. I think Imaginary at least showed some creativity in the 2nd half, but still very average.
Crap. I was planning on checking this out this weekend. Thanks for saving me a few bucks Lee. I'll wait for it on streaming.
You're welcome Ryan!
I am going to check this out this weekend, your review made me think of the hammer film Dr terror's house of horrors , Peter Cushing is a tarot card reader, have you seen it ?
You just disrespected Peter Cushing by putting his name in the same sentence as this movie. And no I haven't seen that one yet Rick.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews Dr. Terrors House of Horrors is on Tubi now if you want to check it out. I saw it a month or so ago and enjoyed it.
I am happy for you that this is your first Rips a New Ahole of 2024. I am so proud of you. 😊
Thank you!
It looked so good 😭
I was so excited and now everyone says it’s awful so I won’t be seeing anymore 😔
Now that you say it may be AI, it probably is. I swear some parts seem like it's from cabin in the woods, final destination, and that last scene, shot for shot, seems like get out. I literally laughed out loud at the part of the movie where the girl realizes how to stop the curse, it was that ridiculous
Yep. Completely agree.
I'm looking forward to your Tarot 2 review! 🙂
Me too!
I appreciate how you don’t just trash stuff for clicks. So when you say “this movie is bad,” I can actually trust your word. I won’t be wasting my time on this one.
Yeah I try to be fair with every film. I gave this film a rating I haven’t used in four years. That’s how serious I take my opinion on these movies.
looks like a typical pg13 horror movie 🤦♂️👎
As someone who reads tarot I was already debating whether to see this or not because I'd watched the trailer and thought it might be trash. Now I know it is you've saved me wasting time watching it. Not all heroes wear capes!
Haha I try...and thanks for watching!
Damn and my wife wants me to take her to see this 😒
Take her to it. Maybe you'll get lucky.
😭😭 this review was hilarious. Needless to say I won’t be watching this movie.
Haha thank you.
omg, deserves life without parole?
The expert hunter/investigator arrives to save the day - dies in 30 seconds! What was the point? An interesting idea, poorly executed. No characters, no real chills, nothing actually frightening. A shame as the trailer was interesting. Sadly, i missed seeing Abigail.
Sue me. I actually enjoy this film. Solid characters, solid performances, effective jump scares. Great intense scenes, great mood and atmosphere, and great score. And for a PG13 horror films there were some creative kills without being too gory and bloody.
Watch the trailer it shows all their deaths I saw the movie, it was ok but the trailer ruined it for a lot .
Like what you like brother. Happy for you.
You saved me $20 thank you!!
Welcome!
You got to give credit that people actually died in the movie, i don’t know I thought the movie was good especially with the shape shifting different monsters
Brother I'm so glad you found some enjoyment in it.
It's ok, Lee. Maybe they'll get Mike Flanagan to make a much better sequel. It worked with Ouija, right?!?
Haha it's possible.
I saw this tonight 😭😭 I think I enjoyed your review more 😂 one of the worse this year for sure. Also I struggled to see a lot of it, and I’m someone who can see 95% of AVPR 😂 not sure if it was just my screening or not. But a lot of it was so dark. Any potential fun scenes were ruined by it.
Yeah it was just....so...bad Charlotte.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews well I guess we needed something to remind us that we can still get some bad films this year :)
Liking the look of the video Lee. Framing is good and I like the backdrop as well.
Now that's what I love to hear. Thank you!
I haven't seen you 💩 on a movie that hard in a long time, Lee. Thanks for taking a bullet for us!
Felt good.
You need to make an orange gravy hot relish and absolute trash T-shirts
Haha yes I do.
I've never even heard of this movie
Yeah I caught a trailer a few weeks ago.
Screaming does something for me.
It gives me a skull-splitting headache.
Exactly.
I totally agree with your points, but I still like the idea of cursed tarot cards . I also was happy to see the lady from the last Texas chainsaw massacre movie. I really liked her character. The screaming jump scares was annoying. .
Oh yes I liked the idea, just hated the execution.
never heard of it but i dont keep up with many movies anymore. and for the reasons you mention. lol..Thanks Lee.
Any time!
Loved the intro!😅 As a Tarot Reader I'm not sure if I should be mad or relieved that this soulless money grab is so awful! Thank you for your sacrifice, Sir.😅 However Your description was so good & it sounds like all the other lackluster PG13 "horror" movies, its as if Ive seen it.
And the Tarot premise is very interesting. It could have been a good movie is written well.
@DrumdumsMovieReviews Good point! Tarot itself is so interesting & mystifying. It could be a really good scary mystery like The Ring if done by filmmakers who cared. Maybe I'll have to write it myself.😊
So you’re saying this movie is Tarot-ble? 🤣 I had a feeling this would be crap, just judging from the trailer.
The story is ok but i don't like off screen kills in a horror movie which is why i don't go see pg13 horror movies i always wait for the uncut versions.
Why did they drop this in January?
I like the tarot cards theme (hierophant, moon, tower etc.), there was definitely potential but in my humble opinion they wasted it.
The Tarot premise screamed Blumhouse haha.
I've used "Plot AI" to really push what it can do. I promise you man AI scripting / writing is still not capable of writing what this movie did. Yeah Tarot is super low bar standard/ crap but I'm saying that AI still is currently not quite up to the level yet of even Tarot I can promise that. Tarot's writing is actually still considered like 'advanced' compared to what AI writing can do coz AI is still much more generically dumb in figuring out plot even if you throw at it plenty of references or follow the latest frequent trends and tropes. It's just not yet competent.
Wow I was thinking about watching this movie as a HUGE movie fanatic/lover, especially horror movies and aspiring actress. I’ll just re-watch Challengers and Boy Kills World instead. This was another good review Lee. ❤❤❤❤
I need to see Challengers.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews It’s my favorite movie of the year thus far. It’s brilliantly written, directed and acted.
I mean. I went in with the lowest of expectations and (maybe because of the crowd) had a pretty fun time with the movie lol. It was predictable and the characters were undeveloped but I think (limitations aside) the presentation of the antagonists was usually fantastic. I thought the pacing was fine and the premise of the story (albeit simple) was fascinating. It gave me Thirteen Ghosts/House on Haunted Hill vibes at times. I’m in no way endorsing this as a good movie but I’m a little surprised at how passionately some people feel about it.
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it for what it was man.
This script was written by AI . 😅😅😅 that took me out.
It had to be. Just had to Alexi.
Thanks for the heads up Lee 😂👍
You're welcome!
Just what I thought about this movie...generic horror! That's why I got into foreign horror- way more entertaining imo! ARCADIAN with Nick Cage is much better! PET SEMETARY was the first ever book I read when I was in Grade 6! And I completely agree that having a creature/ghost screaming at you is not scary lol! thanks for taking the bullet for us, so we don't have to Lee! Cheers
Yes foreign horror is so amazing.
Lots of bad horror movies get made nowadays, this fits right in!
Yes. You are correct.
Wow, it was so bad Lee walked off.
Haha I couldn't stand talking about it anymore.
Well Lee if we went with Stuckmann’s philosophy of let’s not criticize terrible movies because making movies is hard then absolute trash such as Tarot, Battlefield Earth, Green Lantern, After Earth, and other terrible movies would be mostly what gets made by Hollywood.
Screw that. These movies need the ripping haha.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews
I completely agree.
The whole let’s not criticize terrible movies because making movies is hard is a flimsy reason to not criticize terrible quality movies that deserve to be criticized because of being not well made movies aka stankass turds.
2:50 lmao
Haha that was a happy accident.
Alright, buddy. Real talk: Is it worse than Skinamarink or Imaginary?
Taking my daughter to see this soon. I'll make sure I get alcohol.
I'd say Skinamarink was more painful to sit through, but I respect it a LOT more than this. And Imaginary is definitely better.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews Understood. Thanks. Cocktails will be had.
Jesus.
And thanks. I was going to see this on Sunday but I think I'll skip it now and save my money for Planet of the Apes next week.
Good call!
This coming from a guy that really likes to find the good in movies.... Man this movie must be bad. I'll still see it but it's a little disappointing to hear this.
Yeah man every tired modern cliche you can imagine was in this movie.
Shocking?!! You’re never this angry?
Haha this movie really pissed me off. I felt like they were trying to get away with something.
Hahaha brother couldn’t agree with you more
Good review and cool video Lee!👉🙂👈
Thank you Hector!
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews 😊👍
3:11 ❤
When I first saw the trailer I cringed. Cant believe it's now wasting a screen at my local cinema !
It's like a sickness on any screen it inhabits.
The trailer made it look solid in my opinion. I went to see the movie and goddamn it was bad trying to look cool but failed. And also the ending when one of them survived because he out fooled the fool I was like damn what a crappy ending. So after that I went to see Abigail again now that one is worth seeing twice.
Honestly from the trailer I thought it could go either way.
My three letter review of the movie from having only seen the trailer: LOL.
But seriously, we all know by now that a PG-13 jumpscare film that rides on a flimsy gimmick and blows it load in the marketing is going to be bad, and follows an embarrassingly low standard. A pity the studios don't care.
And that's the problem with PG-13 and this type of movie. It's ripe for some good bloody kills, but they couldn't do any of it.
Damn the trailer made it look like a fun movie.
I was hoping because the trailer showed a tad bit of promise.
Well crap ... I had high hopes but guess Im gonna pass.. The ending you did F**k This movie lol
Haha I couldn't stand to talk about it anymore.
I was really hoping this was going to be good popcorn horror in a monster ensemble kinda way like 13 Ghosts or Annabelle Come Home.. Very disappointing..
Me too man. Me too. Ugh.
I'm just convinced if a horror movie Is PG-13 the odds skyrocket that it'll be shit
And you're right. I'd say 90% of the time that's the case.
I'm skiping it, didn't watch Night Swim nor will I watch Tarot. Maybe it's time for Hollwood to try and remake Death Bed: The Bed That Eats 1977. That will scare you Lee lol.
This makes Night Swim look really good.
I hate to say it, but the best horror film I’ve seen all year is actually late night with the devil. I love that movie. It’s a masterpiece.
Didn’t they drop this one in January?
Nope. This weekend.
I’m either going to see the challengers or fall guy instead of this
I heard Challengers is good.
Horror has been going good for 2024 and now we get this trash, what a shame sadly.
Like I said, it had to happen eventually.
Never seen this movie nor have I seen 'Imaginary'. I wonder which is worst lol
I was like "no" from the start just for the title and the rest is splendid with that first NO.
Last Thanksgiving from 2020 did impressed me last night. A lot like Lowlifes but some silly moments. Still, fun from Start to the end.
Yeah I had a feeling haha.
I never even heard of this movie till your video.. I love watching movies being torn apart. Good movies are good and all but commiserating together over a really bad movie is something special cause I find the snark and the humor of the review to be more engaging.. It's a shared community thing. It's something we can all agree is a thing. That.. and I just find people funnier when reviewing a bad movie!
Ngl. It is fun to rip bad movies apart.
Guess you would call us a CW horror film that’s what I’m gonna start calling these films that they make now
I respectfully disagree my friend, the only hindrance for me was the rating. Characters and dialogue could have been better sure but that's not essential for me for these types of movies. I love the lore as basic as it is, Mike Flanagan should go ahead and make a prequel to this haha
Flanagan would have made this good. Glad you enjoyed it.
I knew nothing of this and feel I would have been fine if this remained a mystery to me. I know it’s rare for you to have such a strong negative reaction, so when you do, it must be justified.
Oh trust me. This is a whole new level of bad David.
Tarot is the perfect movie to play in the background as you scroll through social media. It’s a 0.5/5 for me
Exactly.
Half of me want to see that to support the actor who played Ned in the Spider-Man movies but after seeing your review I decided to go see the Fall Guy instead thanks for saving me a ticket to not see this movie you're the best.
Dude just watch the Spiderman movies. He's the EXACT SAME character in those.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews will do I am planning to go see no way home again when it comes out in theaters.
If you would call this a CW horror film
Totally agreed. I was eye rolling throughout this movie.
Yep. It's like they didn't even try.
You know it's bad when its called utter trash and not relish.
Late night with the devil and the Terrifier movies are the best new/er horror insofar
Listen to Tarot woman by Rainbow with legendary Dio on vocal instead.
