With a budget of only $8 million, The Tarot of Death became a surprising success at the cinematic box office.

It is normal that the performance of films does not necessarily match the critical assessment.

Ignoring this warning, they irresponsibly and innocently release an unspeakable evil trapped in the letters, triggering a series of terrifying events. As each of the friends faces the fate predicted by the cards, he finds himself trapped in a desperate race against death. As they try to unravel the mystery behind the dark predictions, they are haunted by a series of deaths linked to their horoscopes, bringing them ever closer to a terrible conclusion.
