  • So-so

    Another film to fill the void of boredom

    by xMichix

    This film was okay, but a bit confusing. I would have LOVED to get more background information than the film offered to its viewers. Hmm... And maybe more Reid. Again, I wouldnt recommend this film if you're looking for some really great horror (or whatever genre this film is suppose to be) but it does fill the void of boredom.

    Descartável.

    Taí um filminho que tinha tudo pra virar seriado teen. Carinhas bonitinhas, poderes exóticos, efeitos especiais de primeira, romances adolescentes e lições de moral. Mas não é um seriado, e sim, um misto de ficção com fantasia que prima o glamour e a beleza dos intérpretes, mas peca no conteúdo e interpretação em si. A trilha sonora é ótima, os efeitos especiais, satisfatórios, e só. É a cara de uma "Temperatura máxima", da Rede Globo. Vai agradar em cheio o público teen, em especial, as meninhas que suspiram pelo príncipe encantado com poderes que o tornam "superior" aos mortais... A trama prende nossa atenção, cheio de detalhes, mas sem reviravoltas ou tensão. Como já disse, de terror, não tem nada. Veja bem: tem o dedo dos produtores de Underworld (Anjos da noite), trama que envolve bruxaría à la Harry Potter, carinhas que me lembram Smallville e poderes chupados de diversos personagens de Heroes e Matrix, misturando tudo e fazendo... entretenimento. Divertido, mas descartável.

    Philadelphia Inquirer | David Hiltbrand

    Harlin, with his customary visual brio, has created a film that is deliriously...

  • 38
    Boston Globe | Ty Burr

    The Covenant is dopey, formulaic stuff for the Friday night fright crowd. Worse...

  • 38
    New York Daily News | Elizabeth Weitzman

    Profoundly mediocre supernatural thriller.

  • 30
    The Hollywood Reporter | Frank Scheck

    For the most part, the proceedings are slow, solemn and tedious.
