Netflix is slowly teasing its horror lineup for October 2023, and while it’s not the most exciting the streamer has ever had, one project that’s caught our eye is Flashback, a new horror short scheduled for October 20th.
The new short is written and directed by Jed Shepherd, no stranger to the horror genre. Over the past eight years, he’s actively worked on a slew of shorts, movies, and series. His works include Dashcam (2021), Host (2020), and the 2017 series Bite Size Horror.
Here’s the official synopsis for the new horror that clocks in at 16-minutes in length, according to Netflix:
“A yoga teacher’s life flashes before her eyes during a deadly home invasion, sending her on a desperate race through her past to save the man she loves.”
It has an age rating of 12 in the UK and TV-14 in the US.
