Deadbeat At Dawn

This weekend I took a trip back to the glorious late 80's. A wonderful time when MidWest Acid Fever was in full swing and a gritty low-budget Masterpiece was unleashed...



In 1988, the infamous Jim Van Bebber scrapped up $10,000, 10 rolls of 16 mm film, and a hodge-podge assortment of fiends and friends. The result? 'Deadbeat At Dawn', one of the best low-budget action epics of all times...

This film really takes me back to a time when everything was perfect; the delicious burn-out haze of ripped jeans, mullets, drugs, and knife fights. Jim Van Bebber is a true dynamo. He wrote, directed, and starred in this incredible, action-packed epic. He also put his body in peril in the name of Art, doing all of his own stunts. My two favorites are him jumping off of a roof and him being dragged behind a very fast car. 'Deadbeat At Dawn' is dirty, scuzzy, violent, and all-together awesome. You really need to re-visit this filthy and splendid time capsule. Check out this kick-ass 9-minute hunk of violent action and late 80's stoner bliss...
