Review:
This movie could easily been rated R. In 1692, 5 families decided to keep their powers secret to avoid trouble with the other citizens of Ipswich. 4 of the families still exist and they are best friends. The 5th family is supposed to have died out. The boys go to a private high school and meet a new student. He seems normal, at first, but they soon learn that he is from the 5th family and he wants to destroy them. There are several intense sequences of violence and action. Teen-agers are killed. There are disturbing images of the boy’s powers and how they use them. There is sexual content and partial nudity (they blow up the skirt of a waitress and she is wearing no underwear). There is also language. The teens drink at a bar and they look way too old to be in high school. I would not recommend this movie to anyone under the age of 17. No morals are learned and no lessons are learned.
