The Swinging Barmaids
1975The Swinging Barmaids is a 1975 American exploitation film about a serial killer who targets cocktail waitresses. The film was directed by Gus Trikonis, and stars Bruce Watson, Laura Hippe, William Smith, and Dyanne Thorne.
It is also known as The Eager Beavers.
William Smith later recalled "Jesus Christ, that was a wild fuckin’ movie! (Laughing) Yeah, that was kind of fun."[2]
After murdering a cocktail waitress at the Swing-A-Ling Club, a psychotic killer, Tom, disguises himself and gains employment at the same club where he continues his killing spree. He is particularly interested in a girl called Jenny.
Three of the club's barmaids and a police lieutenant, Harry White, attempt to stop him.
Quentin Tarantino screened the film at his festival in 2007. A critic at the screening wrote:
Shock magazine wrote "By normal critical standards, this is the dregs. But as no-budget 70s exploitation goes, this crap succeeds on every necessary level (I particularly enjoyed the crude, handheld camerawork during the murder scenes). Laced with fitfully sleazy kicks and a surprisingly energetic, corpse-laden finale, this inept flick is a wonderful example of the bad-/s-good nature of drive-in cinema. "[4]
