Deadbeat at Dawn is a low-budget film written and directed by Jim Van Bebber and starring Paul Harper, Megan Murphy, and Marc Pitman. The film depicts a street gang leader setting out for revenge against a rival street gang.
The main character is Goose (Van Bebber). Goose is leader of "The Ravens", a street gang located in Dayton, Ohio. The Ravens have an ongoing feud with "The Spiders", led by the sadistic goon, Danny (Harper). Goose loves the criminal life, but when his girlfriend Christie (Murphy) threatens to leave him, he quits the Ravens. First, he goes on one last drug deal to get money to fund a new life with Christie. While he is gone, two Spiders break into Goose's apartment, killing Christie in the process. When Goose finds her body, he feeds her corpse to a trash compactor and then moves in with his Vietnam Veteran junkie father. He then gets drunk at a bar. Later on there is a final showdown with the Spiders.
Goregrind band Impetigo (band) samples this movie on their album Horror of the Zombies.
Fastcore band Rupture samples it as well on their album "Lust And Hate".
The synthwave band Street Cleaner uses a sample of dialogue from Bonecrusher (a character in the film) on their song, "Bonecrusher."
