The Covenant

In my opinion, this was a remake of The Craft with males instead of females. The plot, storyline, and chicanery were all almost identical. Even the style of directing was very similar. I didn't like The Craft much, which means that I didn't like this much either.

Hollywood seems to be relentlessly trying to break into the teen-horror landscape for this generation and repeatedly failing. For baby boomers, they had The Hills have Eyes, Texas Chainsaw, and The Exorcist. For generation x, we had a Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, and Friday the 13th. The Millennials don't have squat. They got I Know What you did Last Summer, Scream, and The Ring. These titles will be forgotten faster than David Arquette's screen appearances.

The only reason I even saw this movie was because somehow it managed to take the national number one spot. You know the movie industry is in bad shape if a movie likes this sneaks its way to the top. This movie should have gone straight to DVD in my opinion.
