So I did not think there would be a movie subjectively worse than Madame Web this year. Then I saw Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2. After that, I saw Rebel Moon Part Two: The Scargiver. Now today, I have seen another movie that could be considered the worst movie of 2024 (and we are only in May), Tarot.

This horror movie was so generic and featured a group of characters who I did not care about at all, who I did not know anything about or who had no distinguishing characteristics at all. One of them was Jacob Batalon, who played Ned Leeds in the MCU Spider-Man films, but that was the only connection I had to anybody. They tried to use the tarot readings to give information about each character, but that was a failed attempt because none of the readings were interesting or controversial enough to create any sort of intrigue about knowing more about these people.

The group find a deck of tarot cards, hand painted by the way, and decide to do some readings, tying it to astronomy. Then, the readings started coming true in much more tragic ways than what it sounded like when they were done.

Then they had to try and figure out how to survive their apparent fate. The story was so dumb and the dialogue was so generic that there was little to no energy in the film. It was horror movie basic and it did not take anything to another level.

There were a bunch of jump scares, with loud music emphasizing when you are supposed to be scared. Truly dumb and a waste of time.

The race for the number one spot on the list of worst movies of the year during the Year in Review this December is now four deep. I sure hope there are not too many more. How could I decide?
