Adrien Williams has spent time at a psychiatric hospital, learning to come to terms with a troubled past and 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 people led by Brittany Foster, their 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.

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.

Late-night cable, here it comes! Go to Full Review John Hartl Seattle Times 07/18/2014
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. Go to Full Review Vicky Edwards Chicago Tribune 06/10/2013
1/4
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. Go to Full Review Chuck Klosterman Akron Beacon Journal 10/27/2023
1.5/4
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. Go to Full Review Katherine Dillin Christian Science Monitor 07/21/2014
1/4
Dark and twisted, with sexually suggestive undercurrents, this one's as safe to miss as a sunburn by the club poolside. Go to Full Review Dennis King Tulsa World 07/21/2014
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Steve D @RT35616104 09/23/2023 It plays like a pilot for a CW tv show and one that would not be picked up. See more 02/25/2021 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. See more 10/20/2020 This film should have been a comedy. Alas, "The In Crowd" becomes "The Out Crowd" very quickly into its runtime. See more 06/08/2020 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. See more 08/29/2019 Great story with a blast from the past! See more 10/12/2016 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. See more Read all reviews
