YOUR FATE IS IN THE CARDS.

A group of college friends come across a box of tarot cards and get their fortunes read; soon, they are killed one by one.

An adaptation of a novel that had a much better original title; the filmmakers (whose debut this is) should’ve kept it.

The setup is simple and familiar, with gruesome tarot-card figures coming alive. Some of the horror shocks are competently staged, but characters, cast and storyline remain uninteresting.
