Taboo of Tarot

About This Movie

So, 'Taboo of Tarot' is this quirky little fantasy flick from '99 that dives into some pretty surreal territory. You’ve got Nikki Anderson as this enchanting psychic who just vanishes without a trace, which kicks off a wild ride for her two groupies. They stumble upon a deck of Tarot cards that, once drawn, unleash a series of bizarre and somewhat risqué situations. The practical effects are pretty interesting for its time, adding a certain charm amidst the chaos. The pacing has its own rhythm, mixing suspense with a kind of dreamy absurdity that feels distinctly late '90s. If you’re into films that explore the mystical with a touch of absurdity, this one definitely carves out its own niche.

This film has had a bit of a rocky history in terms of availability, with a few VHS releases and a scarce DVD edition that collectors keep an eye out for. It’s not the easiest to find, which adds to its allure for genre enthusiasts. Interest tends to fluctuate, but those who appreciate the blend of fantasy and quirky storytelling often seek it out for its unique atmosphere and practical effects.
