While the teen slasher is primarily an American invention, that small fact has never stopped other cultures from trying the popular horror subgenre on for size. And like the rest of the world at the time, Germany saw an obvious opportunity after Scream renewed interest in the hottest horror trend of yesteryear. Hiding among the soupçon of comely Deutsche slashers released around the turn of the century is Flashback: Mörderische Ferien (Murderous Vacation). This import won’t evoke nostalgia outside its motherland, but fans of this first revival era of slashers will undoubtedly find a lot to like about it.
Like other slashers, Michael Karen’s movie begins in the past. A killer finds his way to an unsuspecting family’s vacation home after disposing of two random airheads on a train. The young daughter, Jeanette Feelman (Nicola Etzelstorfer), then witnesses the murder of her parents before barely escaping with her own life.
