Tamara is a 2005 supernatural horror film directed by Jeremy Haft and starring Jenna Dewan, Katie Stuart, Chad Faust, Claudette Mink, Melissa Elias, and Matthew Marsden.

Tamara Riley is a shy, lonely teenage girl who lives with her alcoholic and verbally abusive father after her mother has left.

While Roger is watching a film in the school audiovisual room, the image on the screen suddenly changes to the video of Tamara's murder.

Realizing that her father fantasizes about having sex with her and that his alcoholism drove her mother away, Tamara commands him to eat a beer bottle.

Tamara takes control of the mind of an armed security guard and chases Mr. Natolly, Allison, and Chloe up to the rooftop of the hospital.

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

"[4] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 34 out of 100, based on 10 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable" reviews.

[5] Nathan Lee of The New York Times noted its low budget and its "even lower ambitions", but acknowledged that it had "one genuine, if unintentional, surprise.

[8] Jessica Reeves of the Chicago Tribune was even more critical, describing the film as "dismal, depressing, embarrassing and utterly lacking in any artistic or social worth".

Frank Scheck, writing for The Hollywood Reporter, provided a mixed review and confessed that "the film has its dubious pleasures".
