Wasn’t there a movie not too long ago about some young people with super powers? It was more supernatural in nature than Jumper I think, but for the life of me I can’t remember enough about it to find it. I kinda wanted to Netflix it, if it’s out yet. Any ideas? ---

[QUOTE=shy guy] [The Seeker?](http://www.seekthesigns.com/) [/QUOTE] Thanks for that, but no that kid’s too young. This movie had older teens or older twenty-somethings and it was like there was a group of them and the head kid had some pretty nasty powers. I vaguely recall a car or a truck crashing either over or maybe even through someone. All I ever saw was the trailer and it seems like the movie should already have hit the theaters and might even be on DVD by now. ---

I know the movie you’re talking about. But I can’t remember the title, either. :smack: It’s definitely old enough to be on DVD…I’m thinking something like 2 years. [edit - ah, Otto got it.] ---

[QUOTE=Otto] [The Covenant](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Covenant_%28film%29)? [/QUOTE] Yup, that’s it. Thanks **Otto** (and everyone else who was thinking about it). I added it to Netflix so I won’t forget again. ---

Just so long as you don’t hold me responsible for how bad it sucks. ---

Just watched it off Netflix. Not really that bad. Almost exactly what I expected. And wash-board abs. Could have had better special effects. It appeared they were mostly throwing globs of water at each other. Regarding their abilities: Not sure why they bothered having four guys with power when only two of them mattered.
