The Deal (2016) dives into the murky waters of transformation among a group of high school friends. It plays with the idea of identity, flipping the social hierarchy on its head. The film's tone is tense, almost claustrophobic as Bryce, our prom king and quarterback, grapples with disillusionment while the others thrive. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to absorb the unsettling shift in dynamics. Its practical effects, though minimal, add a gritty realism to the unfolding drama. Performances are solid, with an intriguing take on typical high school stereotypes that morph into something darker. There's a distinct blend of horror and psychological thrills that keeps you on edge, making it stand out from usual fare.
