You Will Love Me, otherwise known as The Poltergeist of Borley Forest is a messy awful excuse for a horror made even more complicated by the fact it's also known as American Poltergeist 2. Why is that complicated you ask? How about the fact that American Poltergeist came out in 2015, 2 years after this!
A messy uber low budget haunting tale that tells the story of a girl who gets targeted by a malevolent spirit after visiting some infamously haunted woods for a party.
Basically everything that happens from opening credits to closing you'll have seen before. The film doesn't have a single original moment, which wouldn't be so bad if they'd actually done a good job in crafting the movie.
Mostly lifeless and boring it's made worse by just how poorly put together it is. Shoddy editing, random audio spikes and a highly uninspired script make this a chore to watch.
I could rant but I'll resist the urge, there isn't much to say about a movie as unoriginal and shoddily made as this.
The Good:
Competent enough young cast
The Bad:
Dreadful sfx
Unforgivably bad sound balancing
Plain boring

Don't pay attention to any review that paints this catastrophe on film in a positive light... these were mostly likely written by one of the morons involved in its production. It boasts horrid acting, horrid cinematography, and horrid writing with barely any creativity. The best part of this... I won't even call it a film... fodder-ridden, straw-stuffed horse **nt is the title sequence, which kept me in the movie for five minutes before the pervert in me found the FFWD button to see if this $#!t fest had any redeeming value in the form of nudity... big surprise there... NONE! *yawn* The acting is laughable as is the contrived nature of the story, but not enough to warrant you or anyone on earth watching it. Your time is more valuable than that even if mine isn't... trust me on this if on nothing else. God, we should just outlaw low budget horror distribution and work on getting every horror film from the 80's digitally remastered and redistributed... I've had enough of crap like "The Poltergeist of Borley Forest" sitting on shelves in the fleeting number rental shops in America. Do they even know what a poltergeist is? It's evident through the movie that they do not. Did they figure they covered their tracks by having the ghost throw Paige's ridiculous paintings all over the room and randomly rearrange flowers? I'm sure that d-bag professor who turns into a cartoon just before he's dismembered comes up with some half-cocked explanation in that scene I watched on >> x8. Stupidity begets stupidity, and I suppose I am proof of this.
As I find myself unable to figure out where or how to begin, I'll start off by saying that this just might be the first time a Horror film receives a fair rating on IMDB (as usually, for some reason, people who dislike Horror think giving it bad reviews says something positive or flattering about them). This film is downright terrible, with perhaps four scenes that are not boring, badly written/acted/directed and worthy of screen time.
Of course, most people have only come across this atrocity due to Netflix, where it's called "American Poltergeist 2" (despite having been released two years prior to the less than overwhelming American Poltergeist, so I have no idea how this even works). And of course, there's no ignoring the fact that it doesn't take more than a two minute "research" to realize that whatever "entity" the antagonist is - it's not a poltergeist.
The camera trembles too much. The acting is childish. The "twist" is so forced it's sad. But the first prize by far goes to the audio quality in like half the film. No, there is nothing wrong with your sound card, speakers, television set or whatever. The director has actually had the audacity to release this film in its current quality level (or lack thereof). I don't even think the overall product would have passed a freshman year cinema course, so even implying this is a film that belongs on a paid streaming service is an affront to basic intelligence. Whoever was responsible for putting this on Netflix should know that he single handedly cost them at least half a star of reputation.

Naturally I had never heard about this 2013 horror movie titled "You Will Love Me" (aka "The Poltergeist of Borley Forest"). Yeah, I stumbled upon a copy of the movie with the title "The Poltergeist of Borley Forest" and even the movie's title intro displayed that title. So this whole "You Will Love Me" title is just beyond me.
And given my love and fascination of the horror genre, of course I needed no persuasion to sit down and check out what director Stephen McKendree had to offer.
The movie's storyline was not particularly riveting, and my interest in the narrative was sort of ebbing out and flowing away as the movie continued on in a rather slow and monotonous pace. And while I did manage to sit through the entire 102 minutes that the movie ran for, I have to say that I was not impressed with the contents that writers R. Presley Stephens and Kimberly Britt delivered.
I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. The acting performances in the movie were fair, but nothing outstanding or memorable, mind you.
Visually, then you're not in for anything grand here. This was a movie that didn't really utilize special effects in any particular noticeable or mentionable way. So not even that was working in favor of the movie, since it was lacking in the story department.
If you enjoy horror movies, do yourself a favor and don't waste your time, money or effort on this movie. Some of us suffered through it, so you don't have to; you're quite welcome.
My rating of director Stephen McKendree's 2013 movie lands on a very generous two out of ten stars.

This movie was terrible. The acting and the plot is awful. It's worse than a "B" movie.
