The Covenant

There are two main problems with this movie:

1) The writing. The story is a shambolic mix of generic horror plot elements. If you asked a not too intelligent AI bot to construct a plot for a horror movie, this is what it might have come up with. Now, given that I assume (perhaps incorrectly, who can tell) that this mess was not written by a bot...well, what can you say? It doesn't speak well for the writers, does it? Absolutely terrible job, sorry. Even if it had been done as a spoof, it would have been bad (and it's not a spoof, even though it looks like at it at times).

2) The acting. With hardly an exception, the acting performances are extremely flat at best - and downright embarrassing at worst. There isn't a single character of importance who isn't portrayed in an utterly unconvincing manner.

Conclusion: any rating over 5 stars must have been submitted by someone who was either drunk or a shill of some kind. There is no reason why you should waste your time on this movie, it has no upsides of any kind that I can think of.
