The Covenant

Watched the U.S.A.'s 2017 The Covenant (1:36:46). Four young men--Caleb Danvers, Reid Garwin, Pogue Perry, and Tyler Simms--are descendants of witch families that migrated from England to Ipswich in the 1600s. They are all very careful not to reveal their abilities in public. Caleb, who is turning 18 soon, is about to "ascend" to the apogee of his powers on his birthday.
During an outdoor fracas involving their peers, the young men discover that one of their co-students was murdered in his car, and apparently by black magic. They wonder if any one of the five of them was responsible for this, and, if it wasn't one of them, who was?
This movie is gay eye candy the way The Brotherhood of Satan movies are, with a cast of handsome young men who might just as well have stepped out of Bel Ami, scenes in underwear, a school shower scene, and a swimming competition in scanty trunks. The story line and premise, however, are not as ridiculous as in other teen horror flicks, and the movie is suspenseful and entertaining.
