Storyline

To the students of the Spenser Academy, the Sons of Ipswich are the baddest boys on campus. But that's not all they share. The four friends also share a 300-year-old secret: they're warlocks, the teenage descendants of a 17th-century coven of witches. So when the long-banished fifth son suddenly appears and threatens to kill their loved ones, they realize they must face their enemy in order to prevent him from stealing their powers and shattering the covenant forever.

Trivia

Renny Harlin is known for putting tidbits of Finnish culture in his movies. In the Convenant he has hung a famous Finnish painting on Sarah's wall. It is painted by Hugo Simberg and it's called "Haavoittunut enkeli" ("Wounded Angel"). It has an angel in it and there are two boys carrying her away. See more »

Goofs

Continuity: While driving Sarah to his family's first settlement house, Caleb points out the Old Putnam Barn. While they are driving it is not raining, but during the shot of the barn it is raining pretty heavily (probably due to the weather during shooting). The next shot is back to normal with no rain.
