There is nothing whatever special here, but it adequately achieves its modest ambitions.

As relatively stylish on the surface as it is resoundingly familiar beneath, Tamara should prove more than serviceable enough for the hardcore horror fans.

Tamara is a mostly enjoyable horror romp and well worth a look if you're into supernatural thrills, witchy women and revenge of the nerds.

... a well crafted, solid little film that will thrill you, chill you, and at times make your skin crawl.

Tamara is one high school horror that should have been held back.

By now, we all know what you did last summer and have had our ticket punched at our final destination. And nerdy girls have been turning hot and wreaking revenge on their nemeses at least since ZZ Top's heyday.

A mediocre little thriller that might have promised cheap fun on Blockbuster's direct-to-DVD shelf is instead destined to die a quick death on the big screen.

Surely independent horror has more to offer than this.

Tamara thinks it’s a supernatural tale, but really it’s just another Fatal Attraction retread with a supernatural twist, and a climax that just screams: sequel. Don’t hold your breath.

A really dumb, derivative rip-off, slovenly constructed and played with the sort of ludicrous earnestness that just misses being bad enough to qualify as high camp.

There are few words to describe the awfulness of this movie, but let's give it the old college try: dismal, depressing, embarrassing and utterly lacking in any artistic or social worth.
