The Covenant (2017)
6/10
Surprisingly, I liked it.
21 May 2017
Honestly, I picked this up at a Redbox location because most everything else was sold out. Its not great, not bad, but good. The cover and name was very misleading to me, but that's OK. It starts off slow, so slow that I almost turned it off at one point.. I'm very glad that I didn't though! At times the lines seem rehearsed but most of the time the dialogue left me surprised at how truthful it felt. The way you can hear their lips smacking while forming words and at times the brother mumbles a bit, that is REAL life. It made me realize just how UNREAL the dialogue in most movies is. I appreciated the lead females role the most, her perfectly imperfect body was a relief and the fact that they had tattoos just felt so REAL.. A few times the lighting was off, sometimes it feels cheap, but all that can be forgiven. I really liked this movie honestly and didn't expect to. This is not your typical horror flick with jump scares and what not. It was refreshing to see something different!
