    Some of the acting wasn't very good, but I really liked the story. I thought it was pretty good overall!

    Cool spooky fraternity movie about a group of males with magical powers, very simular to 'the craft' but a little let down by over dramatic fight scenes and use of extra ordinary magical powers.
  • October 7, 2008
    Very homoerotic, interesting back story but just too predictable.

    This was not good. Just some horny/dumb teenagers with powers. It could have been better. Maybe new writers, better graphics. Disappointing movie.

    They're NOT warlocks.. they're witches there's a diference.. the one in the movie that is the 5th they thought was dead HE can be counted as the warlock.
    Warlocks are bad & those IN the Covenant itself are not.
