I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

After transferring into a new school, a woman learns that her group of friends belong to an old family of witches hoping to protect their family's long-held powers when a similar witch arrives looking to settle a long-held dispute.This turned out to be quite a fun if slightly flawed witchcraft effort. One of it's better qualities is the rather enjoyable time this spends setting up the group and their powers, as the beginning of this features their quest for avoidance and ignorance by their arrival at the party with it's supposed escape resulting from a fine CGI-enhanced car chase through the woods. These early scenes do well to set-up the second half which offers far more overt displays of power as they begin using their supernatural powers to great effect as the onset of the different curses, the magical fixing abilities and especially the brawling which is all sorts of fun. The scenes of them flying around into numerous obstacles around the room after being hit with supernatural powers makes scenes like the battle on the highway, the fight in the bar-alley and the beat-down in the dorm-room being quite fun while letting loose with the supernatural abilities in grand style. Most impressive with this style is the barn-finale, which showcases their dynamic powers into truly fantastic action-packed spectacle scenes of their powers flying around into the situation and being a really nice fight overall. Also impressive here is the attempts at suspense which comes off really well as the supposed encounter in the bathroom and the continuous visions of the dead student around their lives there's a really healthy mix of positive points to help this one overcome the few small problematic areas in here. The biggest issue in here is based off the films' positive as the over-the-top display of their supernatural powers looks quite lame and unrealistic. Basically this just devolves into someone standing around as a series of lame CGI shock-waves come out of his body while the other one goes flying around on wires which looks utterly unrealistic and even manages to take away the horror built up through the rest of the film. The other flaw here is the toned-down feeling here as the rating really ends up holding this one from letting loose with their powers or spells which are never as gruesome or intense as they could've been to staying in check with the rating. These here are what hold this one down.Rated PG-13: Violence, Language and Brief Nudity.

I don't really have much to say about this film.The Dialouge is bad, the Character development is REALLY bad, and the plot is... I don't even have a word.And another thing...It sucks at being a horror film. Seriously. After the film had finished, I thought the genres it would get on IMDb were: Action, Fantasy, Thriller. Then I saw that Horror was also there, and I thought to myself *WHY????* It made the film even worse for me (Horror is my second favourite genre, with Thriller being my favourite)I wouldn't bother with this film. If you see it in the shop, don't buy it.

I personally love this movie but as anyone who has done research into the so-called witch hunt it didn't happen directly in Salem anyway. The idea that it is the males that are the witches wasn't believable to me. That was one of the problems. Witchcraft has always been a female oriented idea. Men have been within this circle but not primary. So therefore many get confused between sorcery and witchcraft but this is fiction so the premise is fine. I thought the dialog was typical for the age range of those within the story. There was nothing wrong with the acting at all and the overall premise of the story very unique and the special effects were awesome. It was an enjoyable movie not meant to be exactly scary but more of a psychological thriller with a paranormal twist. I think this movie is highly underrated and overly criticized compared to other movies that have come out of this type. I would have chosen something else to use instead of spiders in the magical end of things because the use of spiders is redundant in these types of movies but it did make its impact quite well even so. This story is about young people who are in their very late teens on the edge of adulthood so the interaction of all of the characters was portrayed quite well. Sebastian Stan was excellent as the antagonist in the film and should have gotten more credit for his part in the movie. This was a unique departure into the world of early colonists that were accused of witchcraft and what they had to do to remain alive and in the background. Also how the overuse of their gift had a very dark consequence and beguiling draw that had to be avoided at all cost. They likened it to an addiction that was very well portrayed in the movie.

The Covenant movie was like every other urban legend movie that was made before. It had its mystic creature's (in this case male witches). There was the hot damsel in distress (Laura Ramsey), and it had the lost mystic group member that went stray, now he returned to make trouble.Like every other teenage movie it had a lot of pretty boys and girls … actually there were only 1.5 hot girls (the blond was a looker while the other one was nothing special). Those boys and girls supposed to be college students but all they do is party all night, swim in their college team, use their powers to show off, fight between themselves and try to stay awake during their classes. That is strange, from what I remember of my college years I had to work really hard and I didn't had a spare minute to waste. I guess the boys and girls from The Covenant are gifted and everything comes easy for them.The acting from most of the participants was …OK, the Covenant's cast has nothing to brag about, their performance was tolerable.The action and special effects were below average. The guys through invisible balls that supposedly blew up and caused fires, they could do so much better than that. Is it so hard to create a fire ball in CGI or make them through huge stones. Everything is better than an invisible ball of jellyfish they used all the time.Although the special effects sucked in the Covenant, the visual scenes and the way the movie was shot was very well done. Renny Harlin managed to bring classic Europe to The Covenant. The castles with the beautiful landscapes made the viewing experience better than expected.Overall this movie was average. I didn't follow most of the plot because when i was watching the movie i was exhausted from a long day at work, i was on neutral smeared on my chair. The only reason that the covenant can be considered as a cool movie is the fact that I wasn't my 100% watching it. If you are really tired (like i was) or really drunk like i wished to be, you will enjoy the Covenant.for more cool review check out - http://www.coolreviewsrule.com
