Plot Summary

A bullied high school student, Tamara Riley, seeks revenge on her tormentors after her death. Her spirit possesses the body of the school's star quarterback, Chloe, who becomes the instrument of Tamara's vengeance. As Chloe's actions become increasingly violent and supernatural, the line between victim and perpetrator blurs.

Critical Reception

Tamara received mixed to negative reviews from critics, with many finding its plot predictable and its scares uninspired. While some acknowledged its attempt at a unique supernatural revenge narrative, the execution was largely criticized for being generic within the horror genre. Audience reception was also lukewarm, with its direct-to-video release contributing to its limited impact.

What Reviewers Say

  • The film struggles with a derivative plot and relies too heavily on horror clichés.
  • Jenna Dewan's performance is often cited as a highlight, though it can't salvage the weak script.
  • The supernatural revenge premise offers some intrigue but lacks originality in its execution.

Google audience: Google users generally found the film to be an average horror flick with a few redeeming qualities. Many appreciated the concept of a supernatural revenge but felt the film didn't fully capitalize on its potential, leading to a predictable and somewhat unengaging experience. Some viewers enjoyed the performances and the visual aspects, but overall it was seen as a forgettable entry in the genre.

Fun Fact

The role of Tamara Riley was initially offered to actress Mischa Barton before Jenna Dewan took on the part.
