What critics say influenced Flashback
Flashback undoubtedly taps into similar time-loop paradoxes as these classics, while teasing otherworldly possibilities like in James Ward Byrkit‘s conceptually brilliant Coherence , or even the demonic apparitions of Jacob’s Ladder .

This is all framed through the Vertigo -like obsession with a mysterious, possibly doomed, blonde that powers films like Rian Johnson‘s Brick and David Robert Mitchell‘s paranoid, picaresque Under the Silver Lake .
MacBride executes the moment with quick cuts and striking imagery that likens itself to that one horrific scene in Fire in the Sky.
