SOMETHING tells me the review posted for this movie was written by someone involved in the film, lol... Judging that the only 3 movies he wrote reviews for... are made by the same director... I'll watch the movie and post my own review... but I HATE it when people do this... its like voting for yourself for 'Most Popular'... ...just saying...
I just noticed this too... amazing. When is IMDB going to catch on to this and do something to better screen out these losers? I have no desire to see any of this person's films, regardless of how well they are reviewed by "real" people later. Anyone who would be this calculating and manipulative to write glowing reviews for his own pictures should have references to all his films thrown out of IMDB. Countless independently produced films - usually those that go directly to On-Demand or DVD - are doing this on the site now and it's gettting really tired. More and more in this country, everything is vecoming a dirty hoax.
If you are actually meant ratings, give it time. These things always even themselves out because a couple dozen cast members 10 star'ing their films has and will never make a dent in the overall rating once the film is released to the public or on file sharing sites.
This is because IMDB uses a metric that handles the overabundance of both 10 star and 1 star reviews so they do not need help by people who lack the understanding of the voting system.
Encouraging the brainless sheep to vote down a film they haven't seen yet out of some twisted sense of moral obligation just because you don't like it is getting old. If the movie is that bad then within 2 weeks or 150 votes, the ratings will show the films real rating.
I apologise for being crass. I just can't stand people who make it their business to trash independent film makers for no real reason and encourage a group thought type mentality. Let the sheep think for themselves for once.
PS: I haven't seen the film so I have absolutely no opinion on it(yet). I have a copy, I just haven't gotten around to it.
------------------------------------------- I am against what you stand for.
1) I've been aware of fake reviews for a looooopng time.. Hell, I even post on boards on films I worked on that a review is fake or not... 2) I posted, not to be the first one to post this, but to laugh at the filmmaker.. 3) I never stated that there were multiple fake reviews.. At the time of my post... There was only one... And obviously the fake one praising his own work... 4) I also never claimed to see the movie yet.. Just pointing out the obvious... 5) I also hate when people vote down a movie to balance out the ratings.. I HIGHLY doubt that 29289 users honestly rated THE GODFATHER with a score of 1.... Meaning it's worse than Manos: The hands of Fate or Troll 2....
I apologize if my post was misinterpreted as encouraging group thought mentality or other crap... Just wanted to laugh at the obviously failed attempt of the filmmaker to make his movie look like the next best thing to horror since THE EXORCIST..
