1/5
"doesn't move in any direction and instead wanders without much aim at all"  Filmcritic.com  Blake French

D
"Essentially, Covenant is about young, wet, 'CW' ready underwear models running around hurling 'magical' gelatin blobs at each other while they compete for screen time with their own abs."  FilmJerk.com  Brian Orndorf

"More nonsensical than scary, THE COVENANT conjures a cautionary tale for prep school pretties."  Common Sense  Cynthia Fuchs

1/4
"The inclusion of a romantic subplot that feels as though it'd be more at home in a Harlequin novel..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

2/5
"If Dawson's Creek had been about warlocks, it would look like this."  eFilmCritic.com  Dawn Taylor

1/4
"None of them can act worth a lick, but all of them would be perfect for an Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

D
"Whoops! A schlocky direct-to-video thriller accidentally got released into theaters!"  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

.5/4
"It's a horror film for the MTV generation, a horror film for the audience of "Laguna Beach"..."  Cinema Crazed  Felix Vasquez Jr.

1/4
"This sophomoric supernatural stinker couldn't put a convincing spell on a disabled frog. The Covenant has all the intriguing mysticism of a bent magic wand."  Movie Eye  Frank Ochieng

D
"A guys-for-girls version of Charmed. It's sad indeed when one's making movies that wouldn't even have passed muster on a network that no longer exists."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

2/5
"I would not encourage you to waste your money on this one."  3BlackChicks Review  Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel

2/5
"it's really nothing more than really bad dialogue spoken by some of the most beautiful kids in Hollywood who can't act their way out of a paper bag"  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

1/4
"It fails utterly as a horror picture, although it delivers plenty of PG-13-rated flesh and unintentional laughs."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

"It's as if the WB took Harry Potter and turned it into Five Hot Underwear Models Go Back to High School and Do Magic..."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

1/5
"O máximo que este O Pacto consegue é transformar-se, em seus instantes finais, em uma espécie de Mortal Kombat para imbecis. E, ainda assim, com dificuldade."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

1/4
"The latest from a generation of filmmakers whose influence stems primarily from WB sitcom aesthetics and PlayStation videogame storylines, The Covenant falls into theaters like a fashion magazine adapted to the screen."  Slant Magazine  Rob Humanick

2/10
"This supernatural story doesn't muster much horror, much less tap into the thriller aspect."  Modamag.com  Susan Granger

0.5/4
"Rejoice: it's a little like a cross between The Lost Boys and Zapped!."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
