Deadbeat at Dawn (Blu-ray) Arrow

$35.00

Jim Van Bebber’s notorious, blood-drenched cult classic Deadbeat at Dawn rises again on the advent of its 30th anniversary, newly restored for the first time on Blu-ray. Fully locked and loaded with a raft of new extras, see Deadbeat at Dawn as you’ve never seen it before – in all its head-busting, bone-crushing glory!

Written by, directed by and starring VanBebber, Deadbeat at Dawn follows the story of Goose – a gang leader whose girlfriend is brutally slaughtered when he attempts to leave the criminal life behind. Coerced into taking part in one last heist by his former gang, who, in his abscence have formed an uneasy alliance with the thugs that butchered his girl, Goose sees an opportunity to exact a brutal and bloody revenge.

The very definition of DIY, independent filmmaking (Van Bebber quit film school and used the remainder of his student loan to fund the production), Deadbeat at Dawn surpasses its low-budget origins to create a revenge movie that delivers more thrills and bloody spills than all of Chuck Norris’ films combined.
