Critics Consensus

A dull, soapy potboiler that lacks the energy to qualify as a guilty pleasure, The In Crowd is undone by slow pacing, poor acting, and a stunning lack of originality.

It plays like a pilot for a CW tv show and one that would not be picked up.

I liked this movie and found its premise solid for a guilty pleasure suspense film. Susan Ward's performance is the stand out, and she's impossibly beautiful. The movie is in the vein of "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and is as fun to watch.

This film should have been a comedy. Alas, "The In Crowd" becomes "The Out Crowd" very quickly into its runtime.

Underrated and deep is how I would describe it. It seems like another shallow 00's teen movie. I find it to be much more complex than that.

I will admit this movie isn't for everyone. This is a thriller with a killer twist at the end. The main character gets pushed and pulled in many directions and being apart of the IN crowd turns out violent in the end.

Seattle Times

Brittany is so obviously wicked, from the first glimpse we get of her, that there's nowhere for Ward to take her, except over the top.

Chicago Tribune

The press release makes a "special request" to not reveal the ending. They didn't need to worry. Anyone over PG-13 age is going to know exactly where this movie is going long before it gets there.

Rated: 1/4

Chuck Klosterman

Akron Beacon Journal

What's most frustrating is the utter lack of ideas: The penultimate scene implies that all of this death and mendacity is the fault of society, but it doesn't seem the least bit convincing.

Rated: 1.5/4

Christian Science Monitor

Dark and twisted, with sexually suggestive undercurrents, this one's as safe to miss as a sunburn by the club poolside.

The movie is billed as an erotic thriller, but it's not very erotic, nor is it really all that thrilling. It's just there, a languid, workmanlike time-waster that's the multiplex equivalent of sitting around the country club pool and working on your tan.
