Critics Consensus

Resolutely misguided without ever really crossing into "so bad it's good" territory, Tamara lacks even the cheap thrills promised by its premise.

Jessica Reaves

Chicago Tribune

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.

Rated: 0.5/4

The film has its dubious pleasures.

New York Post

After a sly middle, the third act is just slasher-flick clichs; worse, it largely keeps Tamara offscreen. Villainy shouldn't be outsourced.

Rated: 2.5/4

Bloody Disgusting

Tamara feels like something out of straight-to-video, nineties horror. It’s lurid, gory and darkly amusing.

Rated: 3/5

One Guy's Opinion

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.

Rated: D-

Este aspirante a Carrie, a Estranha segue todas as convenes do gnero a ponto de se tornar previsvel j aos 5 minutos de projeo, e o elenco de canastres s piora a experincia.

Rated: 2/5

The only good thing about the movie is the background music and the perfomance of the cast especially Jenna Dewan's perfomance, the story was not so good, no proper backstory for Tamara

Don’t get me wrong, this is a terrible movie, but the “so bad it’s good” kind of terrible. Everything about it is hilarious. The bullies who are supposed to be in high school and are all like 40 years old, to the soundtrack and dialogue are all melodramatic and over the top, it’s great if you like schlock like me!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

On est clairement dans les clichés des films d'ados avec un jeu d'acteur catastrophique. Rien de bien original. Cependant il faut malgré tout souligner les scènes de combats qui ne sont pas mauvaises et la nouvelle Tamara qui est quand même un peu charismatique.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

A decent little horror film about a young insecure girl who is bullied by her classmates and seeks revenge on the people who killed her.
