The absolute definition of DIY filmmaking, DEADBEAT AT DAWN is a cult
classic that truly deserves the moniker.
Blood-soaked and violent, this
is the ultimate revenge movie and now you can see it like never before
thanks to Arrow Video’s brand new 2K restoration, supervised and
approved by writer, director and star Jim VanBebber.
Jim VanBebber’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. Locked and
loaded with a raft of new extras, see Deadbeat as you’ve never seen it
before – in all its head-busting, bone-crushing glory!
Written by, directed by and starring VanBebber, Deadbeat follows the story of Goose – a gang leader whose girlfriend is brutally slaughtered when he attempts to leave the thug life behind. Pulled back into the gang, who’ve now formed an uneasy alliance with the thugs that butchered his girl, Goose sees an opportunity to exact his brutal, deadly revenge.
Originally rejected by the UK censors back in 1988, 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.
