Dark Moon Rising

I am not going to give this film a score, as I have to admit I couldn't finish watching it. It's a pretty bad film and I felt like I was wasting my time and had no intention of reviewing it here on IMDb. Imagine my surprise when I checked the IMDb page and found it has an overall rating of 8.8 (higher than GONE WITH THE WIND or CASABLANCA) and NOTHING but very, very glowing reviews....even though the film hasn't even come out yet. While I would hesitate to say it in most cases, it does make you question the voracity of the reviews--especially since many of these reviewers have watched and reviewed the exact same small group of films. What are the odds?!

The bottom line is that this is a cheapo horror film with some rather poor CGI ...so how can it get nothing but 7, 8, 9 and 10 scores as well as accolades such as GREAT, GREAT MIX, FORGET THE BAD REVIEWS (even though as of today, no negative reviews have been posted and mine will be the first) and AMAZING. It's also very odd that when you read through the reviews chronologically, they mostly are in alphabetical order--and the Cs come in bunches as well as the Bs. It's also strange that the film has been rated over 4500 times...yet it hasn't yet debuted! Caveat Emptor--buyer beware!

UPDATE: As of 8/11, the score has dropped to 6.6. This is still WAY out of proportion to the quality of the movie but I suspect as times passes and more folks see it that the score will continue to drop.

UPDATE: A year and a half later, it's 5.2. Still WAY too high (because it's inflated due to the fake reviews) but getting closer to where it should be.
