    The In Crowd is the obligatory teen thriller done with a twist and lots of sex appeal. A cute blonde and possible psycho (Lori Heuring) is released from the local girls' hospital for a work program at a posh club. Before she knows it the club queen and head hottie, Brittany (Sus... read morean Ward - with a skeleton in the closet) has taken her under her wing. But when the new girl crosses Britney, there's hell to pay as all of a sudden some pesky "accidents" and mysterious killings start bothering the club. Could darling, mysterious Brittany be the real crazy woman? The movie is filled with sexy bodies doing sexy things and there was this one scene when two of the "In Crowd" girls started to make moves on each other. Unfortunately the PG-13 got in the way and spoiled the fun. Dang!

    ONE OF MY FAVORITES, SUSAN WARD WAS GREAT AT BEING THE BEAUTIFUL BITCH WHO HAD TO HAVE HER WAY.THE WHOLE CAST WAS ENJOYABLE I JUST WISH WE COULD HAVE KNOWN THE OTHER 2 BLONDES A LITTLE MORE

    If there is anything worse than a movie about petty high school cliques it's a movie about petty 20-something cliques. Tries oh so hard to be Wild Things, but turns into nothing more than a 90210 episode.

    My favorite because this movie is based on my life as well. but without the part of killing anyone for it.

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

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

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. Full Review

Ray Conlogue, Globe and Mail

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. Full Review

It pretty much makes Wild Things look like Jane Austen. Full Review

The In Crowd is one of those obscure features that a distributor sneaks into the summer marketplace when no one is looking. Full Review

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

A glossy piece of trash. Full Review

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

The only people who could be surprised at this movie will be those who wandered into the wrong multiplex theater by mistake. Full Review

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