A teen murder mystery film, the title The In Crowd has every indication of being snobbish and elitist.
It's actually better than I Know What You Did Last Summer. As usual, the cast
is fresh and hip but is full of nobodies. Susan Ward provides the most steam as she reminds me of Denise Richards with
a bit of Beverly Hills, 90210's Tiffani-Amber Thiessen. Lori Heuring isn't bad, either.
However, the editing is awful. The transitions from one scene to another aren't smooth. They've been jarring enough
to prevent me from understanding what's happening in the next scene. The last twenty minutes isn't good by succumbing to
the typicalness of 80's slasher films.
Back to the cast, the trouble is most either don't have a name that I can remember or are entirely forgettable. It was easier to
deal with numerous characters in Scream because each person was sufficiently developed. Regardless,
they're well-cast due to their yuppie look. Now, I'm wondering about Brittany's lip gloss container. Is that cocaine?
All in all, exclusive in a sexy way, The In Crowd is passable, but the editing needs work.
