From the writer and executive producer of viral hit Host comes a brand new short dropping on Netflix just in time for Halloween. Written by Jed Shepherd, Flashback follows a yoga teacher, played by Jemma Moore, whose life flashes before her eyes during a deadly home invasion. Before time runs out she must use the flashback to race back in time and save the man she loves.
Shepherd shared the trailer onTwittercommenting, “I’m very excited to announce Flashback which I wrote/directed for Netflix. It stars some of the loveliest people I know." The trailer shows Moore teaching in her yoga studio when a dark shadowy death-like figure looms in the doorway. In the meantime, an unknown narrator talks in the background about how our lives flash before our eyes just before we are about to die, and asks “If you could control that flashback and live in that moment again, would you change things?”
Shepherd’s new movie Flashback is his shortest yet standing at only 16 minutes long. Alongside Moore, the rest of the cast includesThe Creator’s Amar Chadha-Patel, and Haley Bishop.
Flashback will hit Netflix on October 20. For more positively terrifying horror movies to sink your teeth into this spooky season check out our list ofthe 30 best horror movies that will haunt you long after the credits roll.
