Reviews:
“ …even when it holds a few twists and surprises, it’s convoluted and makes no sense at all. If you avoid making sense of the plot and ignore the horrible CGI effects, Covenant makes for an interesting movie and little more.” 10th Circle
“If you like gruff dudes being snarky and demons swearing as they spit black blood, then this is the film for you. It’s the only demonic possession movie I’ve ever seen that has a dramatic monologue about a cat after the lead characters kill one of the fallen angels, so it has that going for it.” B & S About Movies
“Though the special effects are retro fun, the acting and muddled pace does not allow it to shine.” Cryptic Rock
“There’s some twits in the final moments but I doubt many viewers will care enough to be shocked. Although thumbs up for a horror-filled conclusion. Covenant just about kept my attention for its run time but that time was mainly filled with bad CGI and uninteresting characters, so I can’t recommend it.” Nerdly
“Covenant never makes a hell of a lot of sense. Just why is there a demonic little girl wandering around? With the frequency of Blood Moons, why have they waited this long? And the final twist? […] I should warn you though, Covenant has some truly awful CGI.” Voices from the Balcony
