A new student named John (Sean Faris) goes to an exclusive private school. He is having good grades and learning about witches and warlocks in history class but the trouble is, he doesn't belong with the rest of the student whom are bullying jocks that are jealous that he is dating one of the popular girls at the campus.
Two other students are having the same issues with the bullying jocks but all three of them run into a tough as nails outsider too named Luc (Forrest Cochran) as he gets together with the three of them at the campus' swimming pool and offers them power.
They all combine their powers together and agree to break the ten commandments in order to get even with their enemies which leads to killing, stealing and making out with their girlfriends.
John however, doesn't have the courage to break the ten commandments and tries to get out of the group. Luc doesn't approve of that and puts John in danger.

 

The story looked promising in the beginning but it gets a little tiresome.
There are some good scenes especially when the group turns into demonic type forces.
But, I liked the first one better although this beared no resemblance.

The acting is quite descent like in the first film.
I enjoyed
Forrest Cochran's role as Luc especially when he was putting a school bully in his place.
He also did a great job with the three other actors in the swimming pool making them warlocks.
It was also a good look at the gay market too.

David DeCoteau does well with his cast.
He was great at directing the pool scene making it effective as well as the dialogue between
Sean Faris and Stacey Scowley on their first date.
He also had great timing with the scene where one of the outsiders chases after one of the bullies in the park forest and slits his throat.
A scene I will never forget is when the warlocks turn demonic and in the end Jennifer Capo as the school teacher has a secret of her own.
Dave
should be proud with his work.

Jeffrey Walton returns to compose the music for this one but is not as convincing with it.
He does however do a splendid job composing music for the closing credits.
