A great, MR James-style suspense-filled horror


I really enjoyed this.

I've seen a lot of negative comments on social media, but I thought the first episode was really well done.

Roll on epidode two!

Am enjoying it also; a good, modern ghost story. Great acting by the cast, too.

I'm really enjoying this too, and I had exactly the same thought!

I love M.R. James' ghost stories, and as I've been watching I thought how this is so very like something that James could have written, what with the use of the "figure in the distance" chill.

I don't get how people can venture negative comments when they have only seen a third of it. When I started streaming The Walking Dead I was unimpressed for a good few episodes until it picked up speed and I am so glad I stuck with it.

Just watched episode two of Remember Me and really enjoyed it! I just hope the ending isn't a huge cop-out but even if it was, there is precious little else to watch on mainstream TV these days - that is why I watch catch-up because I can't get and don't want a TV signal because anything worthwhile I can watch on the Internet and the licence fee is a joke (aside from good dramas like this but even then it is too expensive).

I agree about the MR James vibe, but possibly more from the adaptations of his stories than the stories themselves. Whatever. The first two episodes have been highly atmospheric and intriguing, and I love the camerawork. I just wish I was capable of being actually scared!

Good first episode, poor second, awful third.

Well acted, but no scares and a baggy script.

Whittled down to 90 minutes with a different director, it may have been worthwhile.
