Video Voyeur: The Susan Wilson Story

so the theme is at least followed through, and Angie Harmon does very well portraying the victim of a video voyeur. If this was fiction it would not deserve a thought, but the fact that Ms. Wilson was actually taped by her psychotic landlord is an important fact.

Dale Midkiff is passable as the concerned husband, and Jamey Sheridan is very believable as the creepy voyeur. The audience also sees how a relatively average family, renting a house in New Orleans is victimized by "elders" of the local parish.

While sometimes these movies are completely over-the-top, this one is worth watching as a cautionary tale, and the performances are pretty good.

Jamey Sheridan especially deserves mention- think of Robin Williams in "One Hour Photo", and you will get the picture; a menacing character who we may encounter many times in our life; one never knows what a person is capable of. 7/10.

This is a TV movie based on a true story. Angie Harmon and Dale Midkiff star as parents of two children who move into a new neighborhood and find that one of the neighbors is on the strange side. At first, he's a little annoying. Then he becomes really annoying. Then he becomes inappropriate, like when he lets himself into their house when his power allegedly goes out. At no time does anyone tell him to get lost or that he's crossed a few boundaries.

After that, he starts dropping hints that make him seem like he's either a mind-reader or has some inside knowledge of their home. That's when they find out that he's run a wire into their house and is videotaping them.

I think I saw this woman on Oprah, and the story is indeed shocking. It's because of this family's experience that there are now laws against this type of thing -- originally, there were none, if you can believe it.

This was an okay movie, very average, with Sheridan being friendly but slimy underneath. Angie Harmon is an attractive and sympathetic as the mother. There's just nothing really special about any of it.

I remember watching this when it first aired in 2002, and I just re-watched it in 2021. I can't believe that all states still don't have very good laws to protect people's privacy. I totally felt horrified for this poor woman and her family and was doubly horrified at how the church congregation treated her. Hippocrates ALL!! I truly don't get how supposed "Christians" can act like this, what the H*** Bible are they reading from, because while I'm no biblical scholar, I don't understand how these people didn't seem to be able to put themselves in this families shoes and how quick they were to just want to move on and forgive HIM for this heinous crime (and a child was involved people, a child!) And the law or lack of laws, just let him get away with it. Sorry, but if this happened to me and my kid, that dude would be getting a serious, surprise ninja style beat down with the tire iron in my truck! Decent acting and sadly realistic as far as the main character and how others treated this poor family! I guess as long as it's Not you or your kid it doesn't matter. Good God People, Grow a Pair! Stop sticking your head in the sand, because next time it will be you. :O.

this movie talks about video voyeurs. you can find them about anywhere nowadays. the internet, tv, you name it. unfortunately, they're very common in our hightech world. the people that commit this hideous crime are one step above the law. technically (before susan wilson) there wasn't a law. what he was doing wasn't illegal. the man was a sick little you know what that had the whole town backing him up. people, whatever the "reason" there is no excuse for that kind of behavior or action. it just disgusts me how low people have gotten these days. it must of been awful for susan wilson because this man was a trusted neighbor! how would you react if someone you trusted did this to you? anyways, the acting was ok. angie haromon did well in her role as well as jamey sherridan and the whole cast. i have a recomendation for tegan moss, get rid of that little southern belle in distress accent because its really annoying. lol! check out the movie. it airs on lifetime a lot. well done. 9 stars out of 10.

In this fact-based film, Susan and Gary Wilson and their two children Emily and Orin move into a new house in Monroe, La., across the street from the very helpful Steve Glover, a deacon in the church. Steve, who married his teenage sweetheart Nancy and knew Susan when they all lived in Mississippi, offers to help them in any way he can. He offers them the use of his pool and hot tub, even when no one is home.

The Wilsons get involved in church and community activities. Like so many girls her age, Emily hates getting used to a new place and says she has no friends. Orin also has some trouble adjusting, though he does become friends with the Glovers' sons.

Steve is just a little too helpful to the Wilsons, though he did take care of their house before they bought it. One reason he spends so much time with the Wilsons may be the fact his wife has a career (this may be why her house is always a mess). Susan, on the other hand, stays home. She runs with her friends and plays classical piano, and she is interested in improving her musical skills.

From the film's title, you know someone will be watching something they shouldn't. While Susan is taking a shower, getting in bed, and even making love, we do see blue and white images on a TV screen that look very much like what we are seeing.

At first I thought this would be just an ordinary TV-movie, no different from a hundred others like it. But as the movie progressed, Angie Harmon effectively showed us a range of different emotions. Her character had to go from wanting to hide from the world to solving her problem regardless of the embarrassment it might cause. Plus she was beautiful--she looked just like Sandra Bullock.

Jamey Sheridan also did a good job. From the very start, he seemed nice in the manner of a used-car salesman, though I won't say whether this makes his character guilty of anything. You'll just have to watch.

This movie raised a number of questions about privacy and Christian faith. What do you forgive, and how should you handle it when someone strays? And how much of our lives are we entitled to keep to ourselves?

I found this quite entertaining.
