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

Carrie Meets River's Edge.
02/11/06
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.
02/17/06
There is nothing whatever special here, but it adequately achieves its modest ambitions.
02/27/06
A low-budget horror film with even lower ambitions, Tamara is a movie of few innovations but one genuine, if unintentional, surprise.
02/02/06
Top CriticA "Buffy episode without any of the usual cast.
02/03/06
Repetitive and uninspired, it panders to the lowest expectations of horror buffs and squanders the efforts of a competent cast.
02/03/06
Surely independent horror has more to offer than this.
02/16/06
An entry into the cycle of avenging teen-girl pictures, in which the filmmakers try gamely to put a unique spin on familiar material, but eventually fall back on by-the-numbers tropes.
02/16/06
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.
02/17/06
Top CriticThis indie death-feast, directed by Jeremy Haft and penned by Jeffrey Reddick (co-writer of Final Destination), was initially slated to debut on video. Watching it, you'll wonder why the distributor changed its plans.
02/03/06
Top CriticTamara fails to approximate the lascivious sadism or the campy hysteria of its forefathers.
01/07/06
The film has its dubious pleasures.
02/13/06
Top CriticThose looking for a update on Carrie could do worse than this.
02/19/06
After a sly middle, the third act is just slasher-flick clichés; worse, it largely keeps Tamara offscreen. Villainy shouldn't be outsourced.
02/03/06
Top CriticSurvives solely on the repetitive pleasures of genre.
01/31/06
Top CriticA 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.
04/21/06
You know things aren't going well when it gets tedious watching a teen girl strut around in short shorts and a loose top and you're waiting for her to use the ax and get it over with
08/23/06
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.
