Fangoria Weekend of Horrors, Burbank, California, June 5th, 2005 at the Burbank Marriot

One of the next panels was for the upcoming film, Tamara from writer / creator Jeffrey Reddick (far left); creator of Final Destination. He was joined by director Jeremy Haft and two cast members of the film. We were treated to a scene of the film in which the title character, Tamara convinces one of the teenagers responsible for her death to “hear no evil, speak no evil and see no evil” by cutting off his ear, tongue and eye. Pretty brutal stuff! Essentially, as Jeffrey Reddick explains it, Carrie is one of his all time favorite movies. What if the prom scene of Carrie happened at the beginning of the film and we got to see an entire movie about her revenge. That’s pretty much what Tamara is, except that Tamara comes back as a super hot girl rather than the geek everyone once picked on. Overall, an interesting premise and a promising new film.
