This has a great B movie feel throughout, from the atmospheric soundtrack to the retro and dark cinematography, as well as the ridiculous over the top gore (which is by far the best thing about this film). It has a seriously good old school cast and watching them in action is a lot of fun. This has such a Hobo with a Shotgun vibe that I'm surprised that it hasn't been made by the same people. The biggest problem with this is the plot and the whole idea in general. Films like this have been done so many times before and even with all the gore thrown in it's nothing original. But I suppose overall it is still a fairly entertaining romp with some laugh out loud deaths.

Jenny is persuaded to work in the Mercury Theatre as a dresser to the leading lady - and to spy on her for the owners wife. Jenny has little choice but to do as she’s asked, and initially she just gets on with it. But soon she begins to actually like the woman she’s supposed to be spying on, which leaves her in a bit of a tricky predicament.
This was a really atmospheric, gloomy and unnerving read. If I’d been able to see the setting, I would have seen shadows in every corner. My skin was crawling just reading about it!
Laura Purcell has become an insta-buy author for me - historical fiction with a touch of threatening, unexplainable atmosphere would appear to be right up my street!

The Party is richly atmospheric and descriptive. The post-war pub is lively, crowded and seems like a lot of fun! Post-war Bristol is described in such a way that I had no problem seeing the damage around the port and the pub as I read.
The contrast of the sisters is also interesting: Moira is worldly wise, Evelyn is young and inexperienced, which shows particularly at the mansion gathering. These people are clearly from a different social class to the sisters. At first, they’re not exactly welcomed by some of their hosts, but everyone warms up as the evening progresses - in a number of ways. It’s an entertaining evening!
Another enjoyable read from Tessa Hadley, and I’m reminded yet again why I’m always happy to pick up another of her books.
