After the release of "Peeping Tom" and later "Psycho" no one imagined the success that the slasher subgenre would later create. After gaining a place in the 70's, the slasher achieved its golden age in the 80's, then came a time of oblivion and resurfaced with "Scream" (1996). Many countries had already made slashers since the 60's, but "Scream" caused many countries to want to venture back into the subgenre and one of those countries was Germany that brought "Flashback", a teenage slasher with a simple but effective script, we have cliché characters, absurd situations and a murderer with a sharp weapon. The identity of the murderer is evident but once discovered there is an interesting twist. The best thing about "Flashback" is its setting, which is gloomy and which, together with good cinematography with a video clip look from the late 90's and early 2000's, manages to capture attention. A simple but highly entertaining movie.
