I watched this movie for the first time recently and was pleasantly surprised at how well-acted and well-plotted it was. Based upon Mary Higgin's Clark's novel of the same name, Remember Me stars Kelly McGillis as Menly, a well-known author who has also suffered a tragic loss - the death of her 2 year old son in an accident that she blames herself for. She suffers intense post-traumatic stress disorder and after two years is just trying to put her life back together and start afresh with her supportive husband and baby daughter. Menly's husband rents a beautiful Victorian house called Remember House on the New England coast which has a reputation for being haunted and carries a tragic history.

As the family settles in, Menly finds herself experiencing hallucinations that has to do with the accident such as hearing her son's voice as well as seeing visions of a 'ghost'. Menly also finds that her husband had a fling with a former girlfriend the past summer, a woman named Elaine who also happens to be the realtor that obtained the house for them. There are quite a few twists in this movie and those who love a good thriller will appreciate the well-developed plot. The thriller has a 'supernatural' bent which makes it all the more enjoyable. Kelly McGillis truly shines as the grieving mother and confused wife who tries to solve the mystery of Remember House whilst hanging on to her sanity. All in all, highly recommended!
