Sony Pictures' latest horror film might have audiences reconsidering using those decks of Tarot cards.
I think the girls on the cast definitely were really into it.
They tried teaching me about Tarot.
But I didn’t want to mess with the supernatural like that.
You know, I feel like everything in my life is going really well.
I don’t want to fuck it up.
So, I think I tried not to do anything on purpose."
And to be honest, they’ve always been very, eerily accurate.
So I believe it."
Tarot decks come in all different shapes and sizes, with plenty of theming options available.
But I love that it’s based on something.
And now we’ve created kind of a new iteration of it."
The filming experience forTarotwas unique, according to the cast, as production took place in Serbia.
This resulted in the cast and crew getting very close to one another throughout the shoot.
Most of us live in North America.
So it allows you to bond quite quickly because we do not know anybody there.
It’s a completely different language and culture.
So it was really fun to adventure together, honestly.
And the cast, we really gelled together right away.
And I remember that day, specifically, it was late at night.
The girls went out with each other all the time.
And we constantly had cast dinners and stuff like that.
So I think that our relationships all sort of organically came together.
And I think that probably helped the experience a lot."
I tried to use a Google Translator once.
The guy was like, ‘No, sir.
We don’t serve that here.’
So it was definitely an experience, but it was so fun."
I love that when the cards come to life, they have practical effects.
We had real people who were like contortionists and knew how to scare you in real life.
Even watching them when we were on set was terrifying.
So, it really comes through the screen alongside the editing and the sound design.
You have an incredible script that comes together.
I felt uneasy the entire time.
He is an actual contortionist.
He does like circus work and stuff like that, and watching him stretch was even scary.
Like him and his regular clothes.
I would say the Hermit was really scary, too.
I was like, ‘No, can’t look at it.’
There were just so many moments.
Batalons Paxton might have been faced with the creepiest of the bunch, a contortionist clown/jester.
He’s a gymnast, like a contortionist.

So he was actually bending his body in those crazy shapes.
So it was really awesome.
But to actually have them there was helping me with the anxiety and the stress.
And the mask itself is terrifying.
There’s just no way."
I think they really impressed me a lot with their leadership and what they wanted.
And just like I had no idea how much fun I was going to have in Serbia.
It was actually such a beautiful country and a beautiful time to have.
And I’m just really happy with the final product for sure."
It impressed me how it actually all got edited and put together.
Usually, at the end of a movie, some things get added or taken off.
It just–I was missing a horror movie like this.
You go to the movie theater, and it’s so entertaining but well done.
The characters and the vision for it are really clear."
Like, I really feel like it’s going to be so fun.
It’s been three months, and we’ve been shooting for so long.
I’m just really in awe of the team.
But, if aTarot 2was greenlit, would both of them be interested in joining?
Like, I’m so down for that.
That’d be so fun.
And also because the ideas are so fresh still that it definitely could be something.
I would hope that we have the ability to do so because it’s a really fun story."
I love the team.
I love Anna and Spencer, our directors.
And if we got to go to Europe again and shoot a sequel, that would be amazing."
They have so much wealth of knowledge on what the cards mean and what it’s connected to.
Tarothits theaters on Friday, May 3.
