While there were quite a few poor episodes of "Lights Out", "Grey Reminder" is one of the worst because it was so good during the first 90%--only to completely fall apart at the end. In other words, you are hooked and interested and then,....nothing!
This show begins with a woman marrying a widower. When his mother visits, she tells her new daughter-in-law that the dead wife was a truly awful person--one who was demanding and controlling. And, interestingly, the mother-in-law was NOT unhappy that the woman died! Soon, odd little grey letters arrive for the husband and each time he reacts as if the news in them is horrible. However, he WON'T show them to his new bride and the more he keeps the letters secret, the more she wants to know what's happening. Eventually she begins thinking he's having an affair. However, while the letters are from another woman, it's not an affair--the letters are being sent from the beyond by the dead wife! Talk about controlling!!
This all sounds really neat, right? Well it is. But how it all ends is 100% anticlimactic and dumb. All that time invested for nothing. Don't believe me? Try downloading and watching this one yourself from archive.org and you'll see what I mean.
