If you like murder and dig beachwear, you'll love The In Crowd. Former obsessive Adrien is released from a mental institution (cue ominous music) and her nice psychiatrist finds her a summer job at a snooty country club, apparently reasoning that there's no better place to rebuild your self-esteem. Adrien quickly encounters the rich kids, who mostly run around being rich and beautiful. Rich queen Brittany decides to become Adrien's new best friend. Could it be for (oh, no!) the wrong reasons? Actually, her reasons turn out to be baffling, along with the rest of the poorly thought-out plot and thinly sketched characters. Director Mary Lambert makes a game attempt at building suspense with incredibly dark lighting and generic Spooky Music, but the script doesn't give her any help. The ending involves one of those elaborate, Scooby-Doo-ish plots that require knowing precisely how someone will react and exactly where she will go when she is very, very upset. Nonetheless, the movie presents lots of attractive young people in swimwear and provides an excellent opportunity to play the which-of-these-actors-will-still-have-a-career-next-year game. Enjoy. --Ali Davis

Rating:  - Nothing special makes for a dull and unrewarding waste of time...
I remember when this movie was first released and I was just dying to see it. I was young and stupid and it looked cool. Well, I never got around to seeing it in the theater and by the time it was released on DVD I wasn't too interested in seeing it. Then I saw it in a bargain bin at like Walmart or something and so I bought it thinking that it couldn't be all that bad. I was wrong. Well, okay honestly it's not the worst movie ever made for I sure have seem much worse, but it's nothing worth ... Read More
Rating:  - Everyone Seems To Have Been Hired On The Basis Of How They Look In A Swimsuit
This saga of catfights between gorgeous rich bitches--none of who seem to own a bra--is almost a documentary of how to make an awful movie. With its scantily-clad babes, lurid lesbian come-ons and innuendo-laden lines like "Didn't mean to get you all wet," The In Crowd aspires to Showgirls levels of camp, but while the cast of that much-adored stripper opus did nothing but act, the denizens of The In Crowd couldn't act their way out of a Ziploc.
Susan Ward (straight from her masterful ... Read More
Rating:  - The In Crowd
It's surprising that this movie actually got a theatrical release. "The In Crowd" feels like a sub-par straight to video movie. It feels like the filmmakers couldn't decide whether to make a drama or a thriller. It ends up being neither. The drama parts are uninteresting, the "thrills" don't come until the last ten minutes and by then you've already lost all interest in the movie. The pace is sleep inducing. I'm sorry I wasted my time and I was glad when it was over. Don't waste your time and definately ... Read More
Rating: - Too B-grade for it's own good...
If this film had bi-passed the theater then I may have better things to say about it, for in a B-grade, straight to video kinda way this is a decent thriller, but in the made for the cinema, big budget slasher in the vein of `I Know What you Did Last Summer' meets `Cruel Intentions' it fails miserably.
The first downside would be the cast of relative unknowns, the only real `star' in whatever sense of the word you want to use it is Susan Ward (of Soap Opera fame). It's not that a cast of ... Read More
Rating:  - Lori Heuring
Before I jump into this review, let me start by saying Lori Heuring is one hot actress! She's tall, lean and rather sexy.
Now that I've gotten that off my chest, let's proceed into the interview. The In Crowd is a sexy thriller about a misconfirmed psychologically challenged girl (Lori Heuring) who gets a second chance. Starting a summer job as a waitress at a wealthy country club, she soon finds herself in a world that isn't truly what it seems. She is befriended by Brittany (Susan Ward) ... Read More
