Philadelphia Inquirer
Harlin, with his customary visual brio, has created a film that is deliriously watchable. It's just not all that interesting. In the end, The Covenant is simply a glossier version of TV's "Charmed." - 38
New York Daily News
Profoundly mediocre supernatural thriller. - 38
New York Post
When the villain is revealed, you are neither surprised nor scared. You just think, "That guy?" - 38
Boston Globe
The Covenant is dopey, formulaic stuff for the Friday night fright crowd. Worse for them, it's never remotely scary. - 30
The Hollywood Reporter
For the most part, the proceedings are slow, solemn and tedious. - 30
L.A. Weekly
The idiocy and sheer laziness of the whole concept ought to be the sort of thing director Renny Harlin (Deep Blue Sea) could make into glorious cinematic cheese, and occasionally he cuts loose with a swarm of CGI spiders or a final battle that resembles nothing more than a live action game of "Street Fighter II." But he's hamstrung by the PG-13 rating and the budget. - 25
TV Guide Magazine
It fails utterly as a horror picture, although it delivers plenty of PG-13-rated flesh and unintentional laughs. - 20
Variety
Muddled and most unmagical offering.
