Same here means me too, it's the same for me. You say it when you share the other person's feeling, opinion or experience: you're tired too, nervous too, or you don't like horror films either. It's conversational: you say it to friends and colleagues, but you don't write it in a formal letter. It works after both positive and negative statements.

What changed
First versionI don't like horror films. — Me too, they give me nightmares.
RevisionI don't like horror films. — Same here, they give me nightmares.
Me too only confirms a positive statement: I love jazz. — Me too. If the sentence has don't or not, you need Me neither. Same here doesn't depend on this, so it also works after a negative statement.
Same here is about you: “it's the same for me”. Same to you returns a wish to the other person: Have a lovely weekend! — Thanks, same to you! Don't answer a wish with Same here: the other person expects a wish back, not news about you.
Your turn
I'm really nervous about tomorrow's exam. — ___. I've hardly slept all week.
