- 60ColliderEmma KielyColliderEmma KielyTarot is a pretty forgettable horror movie. Dull characters, a basic plot, and very little to say with its themes render it a fairly unmemorable experience.
- 50TheWrapWilliam BibbianiTheWrapWilliam BibbianiIt’s a horror movie for people who want to watch a scary movie but are hanging out with someone who gets scared very easily, and so they decide to compromise. Not too scary, not too silly, not much of anything really, but not much to complain about either.
- 42The A.V. ClubMatthew JacksonThe A.V. ClubMatthew JacksonIt’s trying to be everything at once, and ends up feeling flimsy, empty, and again, very, very frustrating.
- While it may prove a good gateway horror for some, more experienced genre fans will likely wish it was a bit nastier.
- 40The GuardianBenjamin LeeThe GuardianBenjamin LeeThe writer-directors Spenser Cohen and Anna Halberg really have no idea how to fill the gaps between deaths and even at 92 minutes, we’re left with something that feels so much longer.
- 40Unfortunately, Tarot is exactly as derivative as its uninspired synopsis suggests.
- 30VarietyTodd GilchristVarietyTodd GilchristSet in a world where every door creaks and there isn’t a single well-lit location, Tarot is little more than a clearinghouse of horror clichés.
- 30Screen RantRachel LaBonteScreen RantRachel LaBonteWhen it comes to horror, sometimes originality isn't necessary; what's key are the scares, and how everything unfolds. Unfortunately, Tarot falls flat in the former category, and the latter isn't particularly engaging.
- 20IGNJesse HassengerIGNJesse HassengerTarot seems perpetually uncertain about whether it should play its thinly conceived premise for laughs, or actually pursue real scares. It winds up with neither, stumbling around in the dark and turning its small ensemble into a crude means of timekeeping for its surprisingly sluggish 90-minute runtime.
