Privilege and beauty abound at Spenser Academy, a New England boarding school for the region's reigning elite. Directed by Renny Harlin, The Covenant tells the story of the Sons of Ipswich, four young students bound by their sacred ancestry. As descendants of the original families who settled in Ipswich Colony in the 1600's, the boys have all been born with special powers. When a fifth descendant suddenly moves to town, secrets begin to unravel which threaten to break the covenant of silence that has protected their families for hundreds of years. (Sony)

I thought the movie was good, Everybody is complaining how it should have been darker and more scary....But come on people, from all the Saw sequels GIVE IT A REST! I loved the concept of the power being addictive, and it aging the body. If magic were real I honestly believe it would be addictive to the big bads of this world. Can't wait till the sequel comes out!!!!!!!

This was the saddest thing I've seen in so long....the only reason I watched it (several times) is because the guys were hot. Chace Crawford had about 20 words in the entire film, Steven Strait and Sabastian Stan were basically the same character, and they basically just strutted around half naked blabbering on about nothing. By the end, i had no idea what was going on, and why everything was happening, i watched it over and over, trying to figure out what everyone was talking about (and they did a lot of talking) at the and of the day, all you can really hope for is a strange movie where you don't have to concentrate, and can just stare at some eye candy for 90 minutes.

I really enjoyed this movie, i hope there is a sequel because it was thrilling and it had a great effects and the movie had a great plot.

This movie was not great, but I liked it a lot for what it was. I really honestly enjoyed it, it was simply a fun movie to watch. I really wish that it would have been longer and they would have taken the story somewhere though. It seems as if they skipped right to the climax of the "plot" before it had any build-up at all. My guess is it's a perfect movie for 15-16 year olds to watch during a girls night.

C'mon, this movie was not as bad as the wicker man or little man. (here's a thought, just be glad there was no little wicker man) very predictable and trite, but not so bad that i could not watch or felt pissed at the end of it like wicker man. Just a mediocre movie with some eye candy for little girls and boys.
Dav W. gave it an8:
I really don't know what all you people are complaining about; this isn't a really cerebral movie, it's just an action flick with good special effects, a semi-interesting plot and a cool fight scene at the end. I dont know about you but it delievers what I expected of it and it's not bad for an action flick.
