Tamara (2005)

My quick rating - 4.7/10. Sure, I only watched this because I have a friend who has a daughter named Tamara. Well, if she aspires to grow up being a sexy witch, then this is the movie for her. A typical school of cool kids, who are not cool in the slightest, set out to play a prank on the socially inept, shy girl, Tamara (Jenna Dewan). But unbeknownst to them, she also practices witchcraft. Well, when they accidentally kill her and bury her in the woods, she comes back to life to exact her revenge. (Bonus points for the amusement of her walking into class the next day. So she goes about this by basically controlling the minds of the kids to perform her bidding. I'll leave it at they are rather tame methods, so gore-movie hounds will not be all too excited. Granted, her powers of suggestion do lead to one of the more amusing things in the movie, but I'll leave that for you to see. So, of course, there is her love interest, which is her teacher (Matthew Marsden), and they are bound by a spell to be together forever. In a well-paced 90-minute film, we get to "forever" in just the right duration with a stupid ass ending that really distracts from the fun the rest of the movie was. The acting was pretty bad, but I really don't think they were shooting for any Oscars here.

(Originally reviewed on 09/03/2013) Nice little flick if you catch it on Starz or Vudu, beyond that, I wouldn't go any further than Amazon.
