Average Rating:2.7/10

Consensus: The In Crowd fails to entertain because of its slow pacing, poor acting and unoriginality.

Runtime: 1 hr 48 mins

Genre: Horror/Suspense

Synopsis: Adrien Williams (LORI HEURING) has spent time at a psychiatric hospital, learning to come to terms with a troubled past. Nearly recovered and on the recommendation of her doctor (DANIEL HUGH... Adrien Williams (LORI HEURING) has spent time at a psychiatric hospital, learning to come to terms with a troubled past. Nearly recovered and on the recommendation of her doctor (DANIEL HUGH KELLY), Adrien has a new life awaiting her. She is about to be released from medical care and will begin a job on the staff of a posh country club.

Adrien is looking for a quiet, anonymous life as she begins to re-enter society. But she is too beautiful and self-possessed to be overlooked by the "in crowd" at the club - a clique of attractive, wealthy young people led by Brittany Foster (SUSAN WARD), their charismatic leader.

Brittany takes Adrien under her wing, showing her the benefits of the privileged life and introducing her to other members of her inner circle - including the object of Brittany's affection, tennis pro Matt Curtis (MATTHEW SETTLE). But when Matt shows an interest in Adrien, Brittany perceives a threat to her ranking as the group's leader - and reveals a sinister side. Soon, Adrien realizes that Brittany and her pack of friends will do anything to protect their group - and the lethal secrets they harbor. [More]

A country-club member takes a club employee under her wing in this cagey formula thriller that exploits homosexuality better than murder-mystery clues.

The In Crowd isn't a movie--it's a J. Crew catalogue. Junk mail, junk movie.

Somebody wrote this, directed this, and wrote out checks for the actors. They all have family somewhere proudly boasting that their child makes movies in Hollywood.

This is the stuff of good, clean, campy fun. But instead of titillating, The In Crowd is nothing but a deadly dull business.

A story that might be enacted by a deranged and sexually confused 12-year-old girl with her Barbie dolls

There was no advance screening for this movie, so I actually had to pay to see this one myself. Don't make my mistake, because I'll never see that eight dollars ever again!

The earnest efforts of director Mary Lambert and her cast cannot keep this languid psychological drama, set at a posh Southern resort, from seeming trite and uninvolving.

Lack of a sympathetic main character is only one of the film’s many faults.

full of attractive, listless actors who apparently couldn't get jobs on any of the WB's teen soap operas striking poses and mouthing dusty dialogue.

It seems to think it knows something we don't, which makes it just as obnoxious as the over-privileged, over-sexed, over-boozed world of beautiful people it deigns to let us in on.

It's so bad that even the kids, who (let's face it) aren't a very discriminating audience, were hooting at it during an opening-day screening.
