I wish some people would give it a chance. It's a 3-parter for God's sake. Ghost stories are nearly always a slow-burner. It's called building up the tension and atmosphere, whilst unravelling the story.
I thought it was brilliant. Beautifully filmed and directed. Great performances. None of the cast lets it down. Lovely traditional creepy ghost story feel to it. I personally love stuff like this. You should check out the BFI Ghost Stories at Christmas box set. Well worth the money.
It does not bode well that the care home girl has a vulnerable little brother What the betting she comes home one day and his room is very, very tidy? :D:o

Brandy to calm the nerves - check
Nightlight for when I'm having bad dreams tonight - check!

Convenient
40 minutes in and he has appeared for 3 seconds in a dream sequence.
Hardly justifies top billing

Gold star for you!
I haven't seen anything like that before.
