Tarot was tame, and the pace was far too quick. Like the new Salem's Lot quick where they are spending no time breathing or getting the characters developed - the bulk of the cast was no where near as likeable as they thought they were (I like Paxton though, but I find the actor a natural). Cool idea, but could've been a lot better.
yeah, alison brie and sheila vand aside, the rental was kind of a snore.

I didn't think much of Sheila, though that had more to do with her constantly making assumptions and being confrontational, than the actress.

it's a case by case thing. some directors and the studios they made the film with do it and some don't. clearly ronny yu is more principled than william friedkin. :P

I assume when studios or streaming services get their hands on the movie they have all the say. But I could be wrong.
