Too B-grade for it's own good...
If this film had bi-passed the theater then I may have better things to say about it, for in a B-grade, straight to video kinda way this is a decent thriller, but in the made for the cinema, big budget slasher in the vein of `I Know What you Did Last Summer' meets `Cruel Intentions' it fails miserably. <
> <
>The first downside would be the cast of relative unknowns, the only real `star' in whatever sense of the word you want to use it is Susan Ward (of Soap Opera fame). It's not that a cast of unknowns is always a bad thing, sometimes it can help propel the careers of the cast (like in the case of Vin Diesel, Radha Mitchell & Cole Houser from `Pitch Black') or it can really help keep the focus of the viewers attention on the meat of the material (as in this years `United 93'), but in this case the material was weak and the cast is still careerless to say the least. <
> <
>The second downside is that important piece of the pie called a plot. The film opens with Adrien (Lori Heuring) being released from a mental institution. For some strange reason they, as some sort of punishment, send her to work at this ritzy summer beach resort where she meets the popular kids, all followers of the queen-bee Brittany (Susan Ward), so despite her being warned she falls into their little circle. <
> <
>The plot falls to pieces when they shift what could have been a primo baddie roll in the hands of the mental girl and give the sinister role to Brittany she socialite. The problem here is that her reasons for being so evil are completely ridiculous and unbelievable and strip the script of an ounce of eeriness. <
> <
>Yes Susan Ward is hot but she is far from scary here, in fact in the end when Adrien is running scared from Brittany I'm forced to laugh. The plot tends to contradict itself a lot, one minute Brittany and Adrien are friends, the next their not, and Brittany never really comes off as trying to do anything bad until all of a sudden she flips, as if for no reason, and the film falls apart fast after that. <
> <
>It could have been a much better movie had the script really been tweaked, but tweaked it was not so good this is not. Like I said, if your into B-grade (or maybe even C-grade) teen thrillers then this serves up enough hot flesh and pointless acting to satisfy, but if you want something smart and the slightest bit engaging then pass this trash up for something better, please. As a side note too, the lighting is terrible in a few scenes here, particularly on the beach at night. You can hardly see anyone or anything its so bad.

Lori Heuring
Before I jump into this review, let me start by saying Lori Heuring is one hot actress! She's tall, lean and rather sexy. <
> <
> Now that I've gotten that off my chest, let's proceed into the interview. The In Crowd is a sexy thriller about a misconfirmed psychologically challenged girl (Lori Heuring) who gets a second chance. Starting a summer job as a waitress at a wealthy country club, she soon finds herself in a world that isn't truly what it seems. She is befriended by Brittany (Susan Ward) and introduced to the glamorous life. Adrien soon discovers that Brittany is more than just a pretty face and a deadly rivalry ensues as Adrien finds herself fighting for her life! <
> <
> This movie isn't as good as Wild Things or Cruel Intentions, but it is still worth checking out if you are looking to waste an hour and a half or so. The cast is very attractive and the plot is decent and well followed for the most part. I wouldn't recommend purchasing this movie but is definitely a decent choice for a rental. <
