What to Know

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.

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. Go to Full Review
Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Feb 13, 2006
The film has its dubious pleasures. Go to Full Review
Kyle Smith New York Post Feb 3, 2006
2.5/4
After a sly middle, the third act is just slasher-flick clichs; worse, it largely keeps Tamara offscreen. Villainy shouldn't be outsourced. Go to Full Review

3/5

3/5
Tamara feels like something out of straight-to-video, nineties horror. It’s lurid, gory and darkly amusing. Go to Full Review
