The Covenant

I did go to the movie expecting it to be in an interesting thriller/horror genre, what it finally turned out to be was a bunch of good looking teens in the shortest of clothes in ill edited action scenes, no screenplay and the worst possible emotional dialogues(sic.).

I always believe that the first impression is the best impression. The first scene did start of as expected, amazingly choreographed sequence with an interesting background score called “More human than human” by White Zombie. I have always been a fan of heavy metal music and I have this new found fascination for something called punk rock. This is that sort of a song that hits you hard and makes your skin stand at its end. Add the sequence to it; this is not a scene to be missed.

The rest of the movie is not even worth talking about.

Well, the story goes like this. In the 1600’s few families from Ipswich run away for their lives from England and settle down in America, guess for what? They are witches dumbo. So they have this treaty or covenant or whatever in which they decide that they shut their mouth and not use their powers. So there is this black sheep family that breaches this code of conduct and the present descendant decides to show off his powers and become the strongest of them all by taking all of the hero’s powers (you jus need to say “I give all my powers to…..”’, just like you sign a will, simple). The good witches don’t like it; the hero fights the villain, kills him, and takes the girl, end of story.

These seven lines take 1.3hrs to be represented in the movie.ywaaannnn….

I sometimes admire the story telling capabilities of these directors. I recommend that they include a separate category in the Oscars every year for such movies. Suggestions for the names are most welcome.
