Tarot SEX/NUDITY 2

 – Two young women embrace and appear to be in a relationship. A young man and a young woman hug goodbye. Two young women hug to say goodbye.
► Several people play a game where one young man asks who is the most likely to get “knocked up,” and another person asks who is most likely to get married; when a young man and a young woman in the party are identified, we discover that they have actually broken up. A young man asks if anybody wants to play “naked go fishy” or “strip poker,” and no one is interested.
► A young woman sits in a bathtub (we see her bare shoulders) and when she gets out wraps herself in a robe and we see cleavage and bare lower legs. A young woman wears a tank top that reveals cleavage and bare shoulders.

Tarot VIOLENCE/GORE 7- A young woman investigates a noise in the hallway of a dark house, she discovers the attic ladder is lowered and she pushes it back up and closes the hatch; when she hears the noise again and goes back out to the hallway, she sees the ladder and hatch open again and we hear giggling and footsteps, she climbs the ladder and uses her phone flashlight to see if anyone is there, hears noises and we see a figure moving in the shadows; when she looks in the attic we see candles lit all around her and a figure with sharp teeth lunges at her and screeches, she falls to the floor below and hurts herself, she is pulled back under the ladder and the figure slams the ladder on her repeatedly killing her and we hear a crunch and blood splatters.
► A young woman is separated from others and a door closes and locks her in a room, a lightbulb explodes and leaves the room dark as she tries to find a way out; she pushes through many layers of curtains and finds herself on a stage with a magician, she tries to run away and shackles clamp onto her ankles causing her to fall, she crawls away and climbs into a trunk and watches through the keyhole as the magician approaches and begins to perform an act with a saw; she screams inside the trunk and the saw moves close to her, eventually sawing her in half (she goes quiet and her face is splattered with blood; we don’t see her cut in half).
► A car stops running on a bridge and people inside the car panic when they hear screeching and pounding outside the car; one young woman gets out and runs away when something draws a hangman on the window; the others chase her until a figure with sharp teeth and claws drops a rope around her neck and pulls her up as she kicks and struggles.
► A young man walks through an empty train station, sees a figure in the dark and hears it gasping, the lights flicker and darkness moves toward him quickly as he runs away and dodges through a restricted area door, hides among dark and empty trains, enters one and is chased by the figure with many sharp teeth and claws and it lunges toward him causing him to fall through an open door where he is struck by an oncoming train (we see blood splatter on a window) and we hear several radio announcements the next day that he was found dead.
► We hear a story that is reenacted about a woman that predicted that a man’s wife and child would die in childbirth and when it came true, the woman and her young daughter were pursued by men carrying torches and later the woman finds her daughter hanged in a tree causing the woman to go mad and curse the man and his associates before killing herself (we see a silhouette of her slitting her own throat and blood spurts on a sheet and later draining and filling a carved path on the floor).
► A woman reads tarot cards and senses that someone is in the room; we see that her eyes are bleeding and we see veins in her skin, a shrouded figure appears behind her, she says that she cannot move, she is thrown back violently and we see her body fall to the floor with many daggers in her back.
► A young man walking alone at night hears noise, laughter and the sound of something running toward him but sees nothing; he struggles to get into a building after seeing a figure across a street that twists itself unnaturally and laughs (we hear cracking bones); the young man gets into an elevator and panics when the lights flicker, the doors open and we see a clown figure in the shadows in the hallway and it charges toward the young man (we see sharp teeth and ashen flesh); the young man falls to the floor of the elevator and whimpers as the scene ends.
► A young man is pulled through a window by a shadowy figure and a young woman hides in a clothes closet; she peeks out of the closet and something grabs her by the throat and she struggles until someone hits the figure with a fireplace poker and it lets her go; the figure lunges for the young man and he is dragged toward a flame at the end of a hallway until a strong wind blows and the figure turns to dust and blows away. A young man and a young woman are chased by a figure and they lock and barricade themselves in a room. A young man hears a noise and finds a door opening and closing by itself; he holds the door open and a security light turns on startling him. A young man breaks a door that has a “Keep Out” sign on it open and he and several others go into a dark basement that contains many items identified as being related to the occult or other dark arts. A woman in a cabin tells several people outside to leave; one young woman pleads with her to help them.
► We see headlines of a newspaper article about a young woman’s death. A woman describes accidents that killed several people in different places and times after doing tarot card readings. A young man fears that a woman living in a remote cabin might be chopping bodies up and putting the parts in the walls. A young woman talks about her mother being sick and trying every treatment before eventually dying. A young woman wakes with a start after her girlfriend was killed. Three people throw tarot cards into a fire but they do not burn.
► A young woman is skittish about reading tarot cards that have been found in a house and tells her friends that it is bad luck; we see images on the cards that appear hand painted and the characters are ghoulish with sharp teeth and claws; one is a hanged man with a rope around his neck and another is s skeleton. A young woman says, “Love is going to be the death of me.” A young man and a young woman joke about wanting to be killed if they are forced to listen to a true crime podcast; we hear a voice in an audio book describing a body being found with bloody and twisted limbs. Several people argue in several scenes about what to do to stay alive.
► After drinking all the beer they brought with them, several people search through a rented house for alcohol (they do not find any). Several people play a game where a person asks who among them is the most likely to eat something off the ground and a young man is identified. A young woman throws a marshmallow at a young man and he complains.
