The Covenant Movie Synopsis

In 1692, in the Ipswich Colony of Massachusetts, five families with untold power formed a covenant of silence. One family, lusting for more, was banished—their bloodline disappearing without a trace. Until now.

Four young students at an elite private school, who are descendants of the original families who settled in Ipswich Colony in the 1600s, are bound by their sacred ancestry and special powers. When the body of a dead student is discovered after a party, secrets begin to unravel that threaten to break the covenant of silence that has protected their families for hundreds of years.

This is by far the best movie I have seen in years!

Tributefan: I really was laughing when i was reading the reviews people wrote here. Well this movie reminded me like watching a sunday night movie late at night which doesnt have any value. This movie has no actions at all. Only a little at the end. There is lots of movies which had almost the same story. It was stupid. 1.9 / 5 stars

The movie was really great. The characters were acting great, and if it were a realistic thing, I would love to hear about it. The special affects are awesome as well. ESPECIALLY the men in this movie!! I totally recommend this movie. If I had the money and also the time, I would DEFINITELY watch it over and over times double! It just kept me on the edge, and I kept on freaking out wondering so many things about the movie. It is a major suspense killer.
