OMG, this is the chick flick that wasn't really supposed to be. Why? 'Cause the guys are gorgeous. Especially Steven Strait. Good acting, and the effects aren't THAT bad. Caleb's dad is pretty disturbing. Fun to watch with friends, and perfectly appropriate for about 11+.

What Parents Need to Know
About The Covenant
Parents need to know that the movie posits four handsome prep school students as descendents of witches, with destructive powers and arrogant attitudes. The film's violence includes plenty of bodies slamming against/through walls, as evidence of the "force" the boys wield, as well as cars flying off a cliff, crashing, and exploding, and spells that send girls into convulsive comas. A dead body alarms a policeman who discovers it in a car. A girl is threatened by a ghostlike figure in the shower. Prep school-aged characters drink, and talk about the power as addictive (alluding to drugs, sort of). A mother smokes and drinks liquor to show her displeasure with her life married to a selfish male witch. Some profanity.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the seductive nature of "power," whether metaphorical or literalized here. How does the movie suggest that power might be used in a positive way, as well as to prove oneself superior or to control others? How does the movie compare power to an addictive substance? You can discuss the Salem Witch Trials, jumping to conclusions, or judging people who seem different.

HOT GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
for me the action scenes were pretty good, and the special effects too. but for me, the real highlight was all the sexy guys, running around half naked in the locker room(especially reid). the relationships were slightly formula, overall, i love this movie. but i think only teen girls will enjoy this movie, so girls, dont watch it with your boyfriends!!!!!!!!

The movie was very confusing you needed to pay close attention. Lots of the fighting scenes were unreal and silly.
