    Another movie that had so much potential but falls so far short. The story begins with an interesting premise about 4 (and we later learn 5) boys that are descendants of families with special powers - powers that come with a price. The film, however, seems to be more intent on creating interest in the attractive bodies of the main characters then on creating any real interest in them or the plot. The special effects are nothing to get especially excited about, the acting is less than mediocre, and the film is very poorly written and directed. If not for the fact that I love movies of this genre I would have given it an even harsher rating.

    This movie is not terrible, but it's not great either. It seems like the kind of movie I would have liked a lot more in high school than I do now because it seemed a little juvenile. Still, it was entertaining enough for me to watch the whole thing despite its cheesiness in some moments. Some people who like Harry Potter may enjoy this.

    If you like The Craft, Underworld, The Lost Boys, then I think that you will like this. Unfortunately, if you are like me and have watched every movie known to mankind, you will be able to easily predict most if not all of the movie. Girls, the bouys in this movie are HOT!
