Description:
Renny Jacobson is shaken by the news of his father's mysterious death and mystified by the reference in his will to an obscure entity called 'The Covenant List of South Carolina, Ltd.' He sets out on a quest to learn the truth about 'The List' and finds that he must fulfill a prophecy spoken in 1863 or risk losing the true treasure that has changed his life.
Amazon.com:
The List, a supernatural thriller, begins at the close of the Civil War, when a cabal of Southern businessmen formed a secret pact to preserve their personal wealth. A century and a half later, a frustrated young lawyer named Renny Jacobsen (Chuck Carrington, JAG) discovers he's been cut out of his estranged father's will--but when he opens a locked box, he discovers a far more complicated inheritance that leads him to meet an attractive woman named Jo Johnston (Hilarie Burton, One Tree Hill) and the charming but mephistophelean Desmond Larochette (played by the charming but mephistophelean Malcolm McDowell), who leads the descendants of the original cabal. As Jacobsen learns how his history is tied up in this ominous list of names, he finds himself torn between his morals and his craving for money. Based on the Christian novel by Robert Whitlow, The List does its best to make the most of a low budget, focusing on character and story rather than special effects or visual style. Ultimately it's more about the power of prayer than being scary, though McDowell does his best to foster a sinister atmosphere. While Christian viewers may find the ending affirming, nonbelievers may find it a bit anticlimactic. --Bret Fetzer

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Three thumbs down - and bloody!
Malcom McDowell may not chew up the scenery, but he gives it a good gnawing as the vaguely evil president of The List, a secret society that apparently has unspecified supernatural powers and presumably has done bad things to ensure that good things happen to a large but poorly-defined fund. The director attempts to build tension as our feckless Hero is inducted into this body and discovers that there is skulduggery afoot. It is not very competent or coherent skulduggery, though; vague references ... Read More
Rating:  - GOOD CHRISTIAN MESSAGE
THIS STORY LINE IS NOT USUALLY MY TYPE OF MOVIE, I AM PLANNING TO SEND A COPY OF IT TO OUR PASTOR AND HIS WIFE,AND TO SHARE .IT HAS A GOOD MESSAGE ABOUT GOOD VERES EVIL DARKNESS AND THE LIGHT. I HAVE WATCHED IT 2 TIMES AND WILL WATCH IT AGAIN.
Rating: - The List should stay on the Shelf...
There's bad movies and then there's just baaaaaad movies. The List happens to be the latter. And it definitely made my list, my list of ten worst movies ever list that is. It lacked any cohesiveness, plot or entertainment. I don't even know why anyone would produce such garbage. The only thing it accomplished was a trifecta of poor writing, acting and directing. Not to mention it was just a lame attempt at religious propaganda. Everyone involved with this movie should be embarrassed to have this to ... Read More
Rating: - Great book makes a good movie
Loved the book and really liked the movie. Strong cast led by Mcdowell, Burton and Patton. The movie is a cut above most Christian films in the story-telling, filmmaking and acting.
Rating: - Lame christian propaganda pablum
It is not the worst film I have ever seen but it is still in the pile of excrement I call religious propaganda which is the marriage of religious comics damning your soul to hell with heinous depictions of the non religious as soulless black eyed disease ridden filth and your garden variety acting no better than a crappy soap opera. Must be religious nut jobs giving this five stars or else the people that worked on the film. Don't waste your time on this tripe.
