Manipulated Ratings?

Hi, I'm a filmmaker whose film's rating seem to be highly manipulated. Every time the film gets a good rating, the next day it is countered with a low rating. The film is on Amazon Prime, so I know how many people have watched it. 

Is there anything that can be done to investigate if the low ratings are indeed legit?

The film page is here:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6673036/?ref_=nm_knf_t2

If you notice the "More like this," recommendations have a similar pattern, all 1 star ratings and all these films were made in New Mexico. I'm guessing it's the same people or persons doing this.

Any help/answers would be really appreciated. Thanks!

@Michelle​ 

These are all NM made films, this seems very strange that they've all received som may 1 star ratings. These films have won awards, my film included.

Wanted to forward these to whomever is looking into this.

Thanks again.

Hi @castleedgefilms​ -

My apologies for the delayed reply.  I have now filed a ticket for the appropriate team to investigate these three additional titles you reported. 

Concerning the votes on the original title you reported for "Pareidolia", I can confirm that this ticket is still open and pending investigation.

Hi Michelle, 

I was wondering if the original ticket was still open and what, if anything, has transpired with it? It seems like an excessive amount of 1 star ratings, I don't even have that amount of views from the film on Amazon. Something fishy here for sure.

Hope you're having a great day.

Hi @castleedgefilms​ -

I just checked the ticket status and can confirm that it is still open pending investigation.  Unfortunately, I cannot provide you with a time frame as to when this will be resolved, however, I have posted an inquiry on the ticket to help push it along.

I hope this helps!
