History Film / Tamara

* GuyOnGuyIsHot: Tamara brainwashes Shawn and Patrick into making out and having sex for her enjoyment, so that they can experience what it's like to be in the position of the girls who they exploited for sex. Partially averted in that the "sex" is so minimized that the two never even take off their jackets.

* TheVamp: Tamara after her resurrection becomes this able to seduce anyone she wants.

* CameBackWrong: Tamara comes back from the dead as a cruel, manipulative and ruthless young woman bent on revenge.

* CompellingVoice: After resurrecting, Tamara simply has to touch people and afterward they'll do anything she says, even kill themselves or other people.

Tamara Riley is [[HollywoodNerd a mousy, withdrawn girl]] whose exposure of the football team's steroid use to the newspapers made her the personal enemy of half the school. Not helping matters is the fact that she's also into both witchcraft and [[TeacherStudentRomance her English teacher]], [[HotTeacher Bill Natoli]]. After attempting to cast a love spell but not having the guts to actually spill her blood to complete the ritual, Tamara is taken in by a prank by her vengeful classmates, pretending to be Bill so that they can humiliate her on camera. In the commotion, however, [[DeadlyPrank Tamara is killed by accident]], forcing the kids to hide her body and pretend that nothing happened. Briefly, it seems to have worked.

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Averted. While [[KickTheSonOfABitch they were undoubtedly assholes]], Tamara's [[GuyOnGuyIsHot homoerotic "rape"]] of Shawn and Patrick is morally equated, by ''[[HoistByHisOwnPetard Tamara herself]]'', to their {{date rap|e}}ing of countless young women.

* HotWitch: Guess who?

* JerkJock: Sean and Patrick. They take performance enhancing drugs, use date rape drugs on girls, and swear vengeance on Tamara for exposing them as drug cheats.

** Tamara is made for this trope (mainly due to the fact that she's portrayed by Jenna Dewan), especially during the sex scenes that she had with Bill in the dream that she had during the beginning of the film and with Sean and Patrick at a party during the second act.
** There is also her EvilMakeOver in the second act where she is transformed from [[HollywoodNerd a mousy, withdrawn nerdy girl]] (though still cute and attractive, especially the apartment scenes where she has curly hair, a beautiful dress, and makeup on while she goes to visit Bill) into a very beautiful FemmeFatale with magic powers and the tendency to wear outfits (such as shirts that have low necklines, short skirts, a corset, and beautiful dresses) that highlight her voluptuous body, buxom breasts, broad shoulders and long toned yet shapely legs.

* ParentalIncest: Part and parcel of Tamara's... ''troubled'' home life thanks to her father. The flashback when Tamara touches him shows he has at least been thinking about it, even if he hasn't acted on it yet.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Tamara delivers these to those she mind-controlled with her powers, specifically Roger, Mr. Riley, Sean, Patrick, Kisha and Chloe.
-->'''Tamara:''' ''[to Mr. Riley; angry]'' If you loved Mom as much as you loved that bottle, then maybe she wouldn't have left. And you wouldn't be chasing '''''your own daughter''''', you bastard!

* TheVamp: Tamara, after her resurrection becomes this able to seduce anyone she wants.
* VillainousIncest: Mr. Riley gets drunk, abuses his daughter Tamara and has sexual fantasies about her on a daily basis. It's further implied by Tamara that he's molested her too.

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Averted. While [[KickTheSonOfABitch they were undoubtedly assholes]], Tamara's [[GuyOnGuyIsHot homoerotic "rape"]] of Sean and Patrick is morally equated, by ''[[HoistByHisOwnPetard Tamara herself]]'', to their {{date rap|e}}ing of countless young women.

* FullyClothedNudity: Tamara reacts like she is totally naked when Shawn pulls the cover off the motel bed, even though she is still wearing BlackBraAndPanties.

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Bill kills himself in order to break Tamara's curse and kill her again.]]

* KarmaHoudini: Sean in a sense. He is easily [[KnightOfCerebus the nastiest of all of the individuals involved in Tamara's bullying and murder]] [[LackOfEmpathy and feels nothing about her death or her mysterious reincarnation]], but aside from being forced to have sex with Patrick by her, nothing of true karma happens to him.

* MsFanservice:

-->'''Tamara:''' [to Mr. Riley; angry] If you loved Mom as much as you loved that bottle, then maybe she wouldn't have left. And you wouldn't be chasing ''your own daughter'', you bastard!

* ProfessionalsDoItOnDesks: Tamara has an EroticDream about her English teacher Mr. Natolly. He sweepes the papers off the desk in his classroom and lifts her on to the desk in preparation for doing her, and then the dream shifts.

** There is also her EvilMakeOver in the second act where she is transformed from a [[HollywoodNerd a mousy, withdrawn nerdy girl]] (though still cute and attractive, especially the apartment scenes where she has curly hair, a beautiful dress, and makeup on while she goes to visit Bill) into a very beautiful FemmeFatale with magic powers and the tendency to wear outfits (such as shirts that have low necklines, short skirts, a corset, and beautiful dresses) that highlight her voluptuous body, buxom breasts, broad shoulders and long toned yet shapely legs.
