Biography[]
In the late 18th century, the Astrologer served a Hungarian Baron and would predict the future for him. After a reading that predicted the Baron's pregnant wife would die in childbirth ended up come true, the grief-stricken Baron ordered his men to kill the Astrologer's daughter. The astrologer, enraged with grief, did a reading on the Baron and his close friends, leading to their horrible death, then killed herself and cursed the deck to kill anyone who used the cards. And anyone who used the cards died shortly.
Tarot[]
A group of friends - Haley, Grant, Paxton, Paige, Madeline, Lucas, and Elise - rent a mansion in the Catskills for Elise's birthday. With tension in the group following Haley and Grant's recent breakup, they decide to distract themselves by having Haley read their horoscopes with a box of strange tarot cards discovered in the basement. Although Haley states that using someone else's deck is against the rules in Tarot, they decide to proceed. Elise receives The High Priestess, and Lucas gets The Hermit. Madeline gets The Hanged Man while Paige and Paxton are read The Magician and The Fool respectively. When Haley reveals Grant has The Devil card, the two argue. Finally, Haley reads her own horoscope and gets the Death card.
The next day, the group returns to campus, where Elise is staying in her dorm alone. That night, Elise investigates strange noises in the attic and is attacked by a monstrous version of The High Priestess, who bludgeons her to death with the ladder leading to the attic. Her death is considered an accident, shocking the others. Haley reveals she began Tarot reading while her mother was fighting illness, but the cards always foretold her death. Lucas is later attacked by The Hermit in a train station and is killed by a speeding train while attempting to flee. Haley notices each death corresponds to the tarot readings and the group suspects something is amiss with the deck, though Grant is openly skeptical.
The group decides to visit Alma Astryn, an expert on the occult and tarot readings. She identifies the cards as belonging to an astrologer who, in the late 18th century, served a Hungarian Baron and would predict the future for him. After a reading that predicted the Baron's pregnant wife would die in childbirth came true, the grief-stricken Baron ordered his men to kill the Astrologer's daughter. The astrologer, enraged with grief, did a reading on the Baron and his close friends, dooming them to death, then killed herself and cursed the deck to kill anyone who used the cards. Alma reveals the cards are responsible for several tarot reading group massacres, including an incident in London that she narrowly survived. Alma urges the group to destroy the deck by fire, which is still at the mansion.
While driving there, their car breaks down and they are attacked by The Hanged Man, who kills Madeline. Terrified, Paxton leaves the others and returns to campus, but is stalked by The Fool and eventually cornered in an elevator. Meanwhile, Haley, Grant, and Paige return to the mansion, but are unable to burn the cards and request Alma's assistance. She attempts to contact the astrologer's spirit. Despite successfully summoning her, the astrologer is able to do a reading on Alma and she is killed by the Six of Swords. During their escape, Paige accidentally breaks off from Grant and Haley and is lured into the basement, where she is sawed in half by The Magician. Upstairs, Grant and Haley are attacked by The Devil and Death respectively. As Grant is dragged away by The Devil, Haley gives the astrologer a reading with her deck, giving her Death. Haley lets go of her mother's grief and the astrologer's spirit, consequently, is burnt alongside the deck. Haley and Grant reconcile over their survival and relationship and start to make their way home. On the way, they reunite with Paxton, who had survived his ordeal after his roommate, Todd, opened the elevator door at the last second, which made The Fool disappear.
