action

Student Tamara Riley doesn't have many friends. She falls in love with the English teacher Bill Natolly, to whom she gives a book written by herself. Bill Natolly kisses her until the scene turns out to be the girl's dream.

In reality, Tamara writes an article for the school newspaper in which she criticizes the local sports team. She becomes even less popular, which is why she complains to Bill Natolly. Tamara tries to kiss him, but he evades. At home she is laughed at by her father. In order to be able to still be with Mr. Natolly, she performs a ritual which promises her exactly that. The condition is that their blood is shed. But she shies away from this.

Shawn, a member of the sports team, learns from his girlfriend Kisha about Tamara's feelings for her English teacher. Kisha had noticed this by chance. Shawn calls Tamara, but adjusts his voice to sound like Mr. Natolly. He invites them to an apartment to spend a night together. Tamara visits the apartment, but finds it empty. She undresses there, but is filmed by a camera that Shawn had previously hidden in the room. The action in the room with Tamara is transferred to another apartment where Shawn and his friends are sitting. Shawn now goes into the apartment with Tamara and laughs at her there. Tamara tries to escape and sees Chloe fleeing from her into the room with the transmission. There it comes to a scuffle between Chloe and Jesse on one side and Tamara on the other. Tamara's head hits a table; she dies and is buried in a wooded area by the students present after discussion. So her blood was shed.

Tamara returns as a zombie in the form of a beautiful Tamara to take revenge on everyone responsible for her death. With a small touch she can make anyone else mindless and send him out as her tool. Tamara's revenge paves its way and so gradually all who had to do with her death in the beginning are killed. Eventually, Jesse is also stabbed by Kisha, whose body is controlled by Tamara's mind. Chloe then kills Kisha. Finally, Bill Natolly, who is connected to Tamara through the ritual, sacrifices himself. He jumps off the roof of a hospital with Tamara, because this is the only way Tamara can be stopped. Chloe and Allison Natolly survive. At the end you see the hands of a female zombie reaching for a magical book lying in an open convertible. Tamara's plan of revenge could go on.

Reviews

  • R. Emmet Sweeney wrote in The Village Voice (January 31, 2006 edition) that the horror film lives solely on the repetitions of the elements of the genre. He avoids the glorification of vengeance.
  • Frank Scheck wrote in the Hollywood Reporter (February 13, 2006 issue) that the film was a "low-budget version" of Carrie - Satan's youngest daughter . It starts “promising”, but then becomes “routine”.
