Cinema's goriest human sacrifice?
20 August 2023
I recently bought Arrow's excellent blu-ray of Jim Van Bebber's cult classic "Deadbeat by Dawn" (1988), amongst the extras are four of his short films including this one, however the year given is 1993, not 1994. Once again Van Bebber not only writes and directs but also plays the lead role. In this instance he is Ricky, a Satanist with "Ozzy" tattooed on his knuckles who wears an Iron Maiden t-shirt and sports a bizarre Hare Krishna type haircut. He and a fellow Satan metalhead pick on a teen called Gary who sports a shocking ginger mullet. Ricky - "Say you love Satan", Gary - "I love my mother". At only 14 minutes there is very little plot but we are treated to must be the most violent and goriest human sacrifice that I have seen. Odd flashes of old carvings and paintings of The Devil make a nice touch. A close up of a nipple piecing is not for the screamish!
