I took a break from reading about witches to see a file called The Covenant, which is about… witches…
It’s basically a “rights of passage” type film for teenagers. A group of kids get a taste of their future magic abilities when they are 13. By the time they are 18 they will “ascend”, which means they’ll get all their magic powers. The problem is, each time they do magic they lose a bit of their life force, so they need to act responsibly or die prematurely…
I guess this is a not-so-subtle metaphor for drink, drugs, sex and just about everything else you get exposed to when you hit your teen years.
It was an OK film, but I guess I got to the cinema 20 years too late for it to have any impact on my life. 🙂
Cheers
