This discrepancy seems suspicious

Sherlock Holmes: Mare of the Night (2025) has a 3.0 rating from 177 votes, but it also has 30 user reviews, nearly all of which are 10/10. This discrepancy seems suspicious.

Hi jonssonasgeir-

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

We are aware that there are people who may vote for the sole purpose of trying to inflate/deflate the rating for a movie. We have several safeguards in place to automatically detect and defeat this type of ballot stuffing: even though we count and display all unaltered votes in the rating breakdown, we apply several countermeasures against all attempts to skew the rating for the weighted rating you see displayed on the site. We will review the title in question to ensure that the weighted average is displaying as intended. 

For more information on our abuse detection methods, or details about IMDb ratings and weighted averages, please refer to our Ratings FAQ.

Cheers!

@Maya​ Yes thanks very much and yes, my main concern are the 30 user reviews, given 10/10 every single time, or almost always. I saw this film and it is horrible, I agree with the 3/10 review, ore well, I gave it 1/10 but 30 reviews given 10 is not for real.

The reviews are totally fake.
