The In Crowd

[Thiago]

THE IN CROWD is a good movie, a mix of Wild Things with I know what you did. I was not expecting much, but I kinda liked it. Someone here saw it?

I always wondered about this film (and the similar-themed GOSSIP). Someone summarize it for me (sans spoilers).

THE IN CROWD wasn't "that" bad... It's main problem is it's PG-13 rating, it should've been an "R", they could've done more with it. Of course it is still kind of wild for a PG-13, we get very nice breasts from Susan Ward (thank you) and a lesbian kiss (thanks again)... This movie could have been so much better, all it needed was the R rating and it should have took a few lessons from Wild Things. This could have been such a fun and wild time. But oh well, let's not focus on what it could have been, but what it is instead. This movie reminds me of a daytime soap only wilder, it has rich good looking people, mediocre acting, and a so-so plot. I wanted more sun and a little more fun from this movie. And the so called "in crowd" are a bunch of losers, they are supposed to be cool but most of them are immature morons that don't look cool at all. I thought they looked and acted like dorks. The only one that stands out of the crowd is Susan Ward, she was a bitch and the most interesting character in the movie. I would've been her friend. Lori Heuring wasn't that bad either, I liked her, she was a little hottie. If this movie would've been given an R rating, a better script, and a better cast (other than Susan Ward and Lori Heuring), it could've been so much better and so much fun, instead it ends up being mediocre. Now don't get me wrong, it's not too bad, but it could have been so much more.

Here's a quick run down of the plot:

Adrien (Lori Heuring) is fresh out of the mental institution and takes a job for the summer at a country club. Brittany (Susan Ward) is one of a group of wealthy students who takes a liking to Adrien and introduces her into her social circle. But when Adrien gets to know Matt with whom Brittany is infatuated, she learns the hard way that the rich kids can quickly turn vengeful and deadly...

Believe me, the "in crowd" isn't very scary, they are just a bunch of losers that think they're cool... All in all the movie isn't completely horrible, but I've seen better...

Grade: 6.5/10

the IN CROWD>>>>>>UUUUGGGHHHHH

i thought the movie was so PREDICTABLE and had ZERO SUSPENSE....i thought SUSAN WARDING is gorgeous, and i find her to be the ONLY reason to watch this movie..the movie was just so BORING...

i wonder why WARDING isnt in more movies??she is a good actor and is beautiful..

I love THE IN CROWD, mainly because of Susan Ward. She truly carries the entire film and has to be the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen!!!! DENISE RICHARDS? WHO? She can't hold a candle to Susan Ward. I loved everything about her and she isn't that bad of any actress. This movie could've been so much, but like Mike said it was the bad writers and a PG-13 rating that killed everything this movie could've been. THE IN CROWD, is by no means, a horror film. It's a melodrama. Go figure, since Susan Ward was on a soap opera for almost 3 years. I give it an 8/10 just because of Susan.

P.S. It was directed by Mary Lambert, who directed PET SEMETARY

And to think...Susan Ward got her start on the now-defunct NBC soap opera "Sunset Beach"! I myself think she's babelicious!
