| Taboo of Tarot is a product of unstinting passion characterized by a flamboyant music score (Saint) that brings to mind some of the exotic Middle Eastern themes to be tasted in the recent mainstream film 8mm. As the story line goes, even tarot readers have their groupies, which gets Jessica Drake and Chandler up to their beautiful esoterica in their search for clues to the disappearance of a psychic (played by Nikki Anderson). Within the haunts of an old mansion (great house, by the way), Chandler and Drake happen upon a deck of tarot cards that once belonged to Anderson. As they plumb the mysteries of the deck, particular cards emerge and come to life - a gambit similar to that in the classic Peter Cushing Hammer horror pic Dr. Terror's House of Horrors. |
