After Pamahiin and Shake, Rattle and Roll X comes Tarot from Regal Entertainment. Touted to be Marian Rivera's scariest horror flick, Tarot will open in theaters nationwide this August.
"Moviegoers should be expected to shout at the top of their voices from fear. This is really a scary movie. I was actually frightened doing this film but I know people who like horror films will enjoy Tarot," explained an excited Marian.
In Tarot Marian Rivera plays Cara who has a unique gift: seeing the future through her grandmother's tarot cards. As a child, she already predicted two deaths in her family. And after her predictions came true, Cara's mother Diana (played by Susan Africa) feared for the dangers that her daughter's psychic powers may bring her. She then stopped her daughter from using her gift.
Unfortunately, it was love that broke her promise to her mom. When her boyfriend Miguel (played by Dennis Trillo) went missing from a hiking session, a saddened and disturbed Cara was forced to use her gift to look for him. Using the tarot cards to answer her questions, she opened a pandora's box of dreadful revelations about her own life!
"When I was just starting in showbiz, the first horror film I did was Pamahiin with Dennis Trillo. This is our second horror film together. It's our reunion movie and as always, it was exciting working with him again," she said.
Unlike in Pamahiin, wherein she was the one eliciting fear and horror, Tarot has her running for her life in horror.
"I was already scared of Tarot when I first read the script they gave me. And when we started shooting, it was scarier than I ever imagined. I'm also grateful to Regal Films, especially Mother Lily Monteverde for this movie project," expressed Marian. Tarot is directed by Jun Lana.
Marian added that she enjoyed working with her director and admired his vision for Tarot. She believes that they have achieved their goal with Tarot, which is to give a frightful and hair-raising experience to moviegoers.
Co-starring with Marian in Tarot is Roxanne Guinoo. Also in the cast of Tarot are Glaiza de Castro, Rich Asuncion, Nina Jose, Ana Quiambao, Gloria Romero, and Celia Rodriguez. Regal, which is celebrating its golden anniversary this 2009, has been known to produce horror hits such as Shake Rattle, and Roll and Tiyanak.From the same makers of Kulam, Tarot will surely be another scary adventure soon to open August 26 in cinemas nationwide.
