"The Covenant" is a horror/thriller, featuring a young cast of mostly unknown actors and actresses. It is based on a graphic novel by Aron Coleite and Tone Rodriquez.
Caleb, Pogue, Tyler, and Reid are best of friends...almost like brothers. They attend a well-to-do private school in New England, and seem to have it all. As a matter of fact...they not only seem to have it all, they may have more than others think. The four boys are descendants of four families who all survived the Salem witch hunts...and they have inherited incredible power. But when someone is using their power to haunt them...can they find out who...and more importantly...why?
This movie was a lot better than I thought it might have been. The plot is pretty simple...four teens with amazing powers suddenly find a problem in their otherwise perfect lives. For a cast of virtual unknowns, they turn in a surprisingly good performance. The four "Sons Of Ipswich" are especially entertaining. The special effects are good, but the movie doesn't completely rely on them to tell the whole story. And as is always the case in a story such as this...they leave the ending ripe for a sequel.
All in all, "The Covenant" is worth scaring up for a good time.
