The film discovers the story of Tamara, an unattractive girl, who frequently bears the brunt of her classmates' cruelty. In a short time, things will be horrible when Tamara was killed during a prank gone wrong. She returns after her death as a sexy seductress to exact revenge from all.
You know things aren't going well when it gets tedious watching a teen girl strut around in short shorts and a loose top and you're waiting for her to use the ax and get it over with
An entry into the cycle of avenging teen-girl pictures, in which the filmmakers try gamely to put a unique spin on familiar material, but eventually fall back on by-the-numbers tropes.
