What to Know

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.

Jami Bernard New York Daily News Late-night cable, here it comes! Rated: 1.5/4 Jul 21, 2014 Full Review John Hartl 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. Jul 18, 2014 Full Review Vicky Edwards 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 Jun 10, 2013 Full Review 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 Oct 27, 2023 Full Review Katherine Dillin Christian Science Monitor Dark and twisted, with sexually suggestive undercurrents, this one's as safe to miss as a sunburn by the club poolside. Rated: 1/4 Jul 21, 2014 Full Review Dennis King Tulsa World 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. Jul 21, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Steve D It plays like a pilot for a CW tv show and one that would not be picked up. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/23/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member This film should have been a comedy. Alas, "The In Crowd" becomes "The Out Crowd" very quickly into its runtime. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Great story with a blast from the past! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
