[A] muddled and most unmagical offering.
There is not a scary scene in the whole movie.
This is cobbled-together teenybopper tripe about feuding male witches with nothing to offer but classic bad dialogue.
The Covenant is just a copycat.
Movies like this are why we have eyelids.
No one has bothered to develop a coherent story or remotely likable characters to sustain the CGI effects, ear-splitting music, and hyperactive editing.
[An] unbewitching brew of clichés.
Director Renny Harlin ("The Long Kiss Goodnight") phones in this thoughtless teen horror flick from screenwriter J.S. Cardone ("The Forsaken").
This forgettable supernatural-teen thriller is the kind of WB-style soap opera where the characters have names like Chase Collins and Reid Garwin.
After a promising start, this film someone managed to become dull.
It's a horror film for the MTV generation, a horror film for the audience of "Laguna Beach"...
... this falls well short of the Buffy-level resonances at which [Harlin] was presumably aiming.
...yet another brainless, utterly disposable thriller geared exclusively towards teenagers...
I really can't say I didn't like The Covenant; I just didn't care about it one way or another. If you go in knowing you're getting a sort of 'The Craft, for dudes' PG-13 flick, you might be reasonably entertained.
The Covenant looks less like a movie and more like an extended boy band video -- and with about the same amount of depth.
A patently silly supernatural teen drama, in which a bunch of Young Hollywood types flex their abs and aim their perfectly-calibrated glances at each other.
Flying scenes, frat-boy face-offs and pyrotechnic punch-ups are punctuated by excruciating expository dialogue.
Daft but nonetheless enjoyable supernatural thriller, featuring some hilariously bad dialogue, impressive special effects and some genuinely creepy scenes.
Director Renny Harlin helms like a bat out of hell, and obviously doesn't know a pentagram from a mammogram.
Utterly stupid and full of lazy plotting and lazier dialogue, this is just idiotic enough to entertain on nights when you want to give your brain a rest.
The Covenant is like the great imitator. It wants to have King's New England atmosphere but over does it with constantly moody shots and strangely empty hallways of a dormitory.
O máximo que este O Pacto consegue é transformar-se, em seus instantes finais, em uma espécie de Mortal Kombat para imbecis. E, ainda assim, com dificuldade.
