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]

Teen thrillers put style, naughtiness and tension ahead of characters and storyline, but every ship at least needs a hull, and this one’s grounded before it even gets launched.

Besides bad writing and bad acting, the lighting is poor and the colors are faded.

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

The In Crowd is a J. Crew ad gone very, very wrong.

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.

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

Crowd tries to be suspenseful, but fails to make sense.

So generic are the actors that you'll likely have trouble telling the dark-haired, handsome guys apart.

A thoroughly disposable psycho-thriller aimed at the teen demographic, and one of the very worst theatrical films of its type in recent memory.

The more I think about it, the more I liked this movie. Not because it's good, but because it's enjoyably bad.

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 film showcases its attractive, scantily clad young cast, and ... well, I don't know what else, as there's nothing else there.

The story is sad and pathetic, unbelievable for more than a second to anyone with less than 45% alcohol in his or her blood stream.
