Q: What do you get when you cross The Lost Boys with The Craft but make it awful? A: J.S. Cardone and Renny Harlin's The Covenant (2006), which features hot boy witches throwing globs of CGI semen at each other! We have so much to say about this nonsense, including its overly complicated mythology and self-serious tone, villainous bisexual king Chase (played by Sebastian Stan), thankless damsels in distress, and addiction/gay allegories (paging Buffy S06).

Finally, we break down our top 15 films of 2023, plus a few honorable mentions. And because it wouldn't be Horror Queers without a couple of fuck ups, we have a
