The Covenant

If witches and magic are the kind of stories that you enjoy, this is defiantly the kind of movie you should make time to see. This is a Male version of the 90s movie The Craft with a little bit of the TV show Charmed thrown in to make the story a little bit more upbeat. That's not to say this movie isn't good, it is very good, and where it is Male oriented, the action sequences go further and faster than most witchcraft films up to this time. Based on the comic book by Aron Coleite and Tone Rodriguez, this a gripping tale with very strong actors that deserves to have the story continued and a sequel made.As the Sons of Ipswich reach maturity they tap into the supernatural powers that are handed down from their fathers, but there is a force that is determined to absorb all of The Power and kill off all the rest of the families. The effects that are done here are top notch, some of the CGI is blended into the live action so well that it's as if it were real. The film flows so fast sometimes you think that there might have been something that you've missed, and the movie is well worth watching again to see them. The acting is extreme well done, all of the main characters are portrayed by some of the best young actors doing movies today. It would wonderful to see them all come back and do another installment in this story, if that's at all possible.
I'm not one to go after witchcraft films but the effects that were used caught my attention and I was interested in seeing what was done, and I was happily surprise how good they were. There is no over the top gory violence at all in the movie and the majority of the scary violence is more subjective supernatural, than visual gore. So if you like movies that deal with witches and the supernatural, this is one of those films you shouldn't miss, it's worth the time and effort to see a movie that is powerful in story and visually convincing.
