A weird, unattractive high school girl named Tamara Riley (Jenna Dewan) incurs the ire of some vicious jocks by exposing their football team's use of performance enhancing drugs, so the jocks engineer a revenge prank that goes horribly wrong, killing Tamara in the process. The bullies bury their victim, but they soon find out that her perceived "witchy" affectations were in fact the real deal, and a love spell she had cast earlier resurrects her as the acme of jailbait hotness and grants her the ability to read minds with a touch and also make her victims love her and obey her every command.
Tamara (Jenna Dewan): back from the grave, hot and homicidal.
The revived Tamara has two things on her mind: vengeance against her tormentors/killers, and enchanting the teacher she has majorly damp panties for, only he's happily married, so his wife has to go...
Basically a CARRIE knockoff with outright witchcraft in lieu of telekinesis, TAMARA is a pretty derivative affair, but it moves briskly and is quite entertaining. It's nothing you haven't seen before, but it features some very creative magickal revenge. The two lead jocks are as vicious as any found in the works of Stephen King, only with serial drugging and raping of girls added to their roster of heinous acts, so our teen witch's plan for them is especially satisfying.
As lesser efforts go, this one's not bad at all, and is definitely worth checking out. It would make for a good co-feature with THE CRAFT, only with gore and real nastiness for added seasoning.
