The Covenant Reviews

Daft but nonetheless enjoyable supernatural thriller, featuring some hilariously bad dialogue, impressive special effects and some genuinely creepy scenes.

Cleverly takes the lure of illegal drugs and links it to super powers.

[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").

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

This forgettable supernatural-teen thriller is the kind of WB-style soap opera where the characters have names like Chase Collins and Reid Garwin.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5

It's a horror film for the MTV generation, a horror film for the audience of "Laguna Beach"...

Full Review | Original Score: .5/4

... this falls well short of the Buffy-level resonances at which [Harlin] was presumably aiming.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

...yet another brainless, utterly disposable thriller geared exclusively towards teenagers...

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4

The Covenant looks less like a movie and more like an extended boy band video -- and with about the same amount of depth.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

Flying scenes, frat-boy face-offs and pyrotechnic punch-ups are punctuated by excruciating expository dialogue.

Director Renny Harlin helms like a bat out of hell, and obviously doesn't know a pentagram from a mammogram.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

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.

| Original Score: 1/5

It's not a work of originality and the handheld camerawork gets tedious, but let's hope the message that power corrupts gets through

I think the men were cast more for their abs than their acting.

Full Review | Original Score: 0/10

Terribly acted, shamelessly unoriginal and executed with little redeeming sense of humour.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

"A truly lacklustre direct-to-video teen thriller filled with corny effects, chiseled jaw stares and a lot of hokum about Salem witchcraft"

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4
