Video Voyeur: The Susan Wilson Story

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.

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 is a true story , it actually took place in the town that where I live. The guy was very wrong doing what he did and should have been stopped, who knows where he would have taped next. The story was well acted but could have been better, the sets could have been truer. I am not sure where they acutely filmed the movie, I do not think that it was where it actually took place. The scenery wast not anything like what it looks like around here, that is the only problem that I had with the movie. The actors did a good job of acting. If this deterred anyone else or made aware anyone else as to these things actually happening it was a good thing.

While I agree what the voyeur did was disgusting and a violation, do you think that everyone that has ever peeped on a woman is sick?. Obviously, setting up cameras in someone's own home is an extreme violation but if anyone who has ever peeped (without using video equipment) was convicted, many or even most guys would be in jail. Especially when guys are young, they're curious but they normally grow out of it and talking to your teenage sons about such things, is a good way of assuring they don't do it or continue to do it and stop it developing into situations as we see in this tele-movie. Reacting in a way in which your shocked it goes on or never discussing it, leads to a growing problem or even a culture of acceptance, making it a worse problem. Did you hear about the NFL peeping lawsuit? MOST NFL players in the entire league knew about the peepholes and many joined in whilst the rest said nothing and considered it a perk of playing at that particular place as it was the visiting player's locker room that was adjoined to the cheerleader's locker room. I blame this kind of behaviour on lack of talk about the subject, especially at an adolescent age where young boys are most likely to do it. They then grow up thinking it's ok to look, because, afterall, they're only seeing what the other cheerleaders see all the time, so it couldn't be so bad, right? That's the mentality, which although wrong and should be punishable, is not what I'd consider sick. Being attracted to the bodies of the opposite sex is totally au-naturale but it definitely can become a sickness if it gets to the point of what occured in this tele-movie. Communication and education is the real preventative measure.

I generally dismiss any Lifetime TV movie. Can you blame me, what with titles like "Mother May I Sleep With Danger", "Danger In Blue Sky Country", and my personal favorite: "Baby Monitor: Sound of Fear"? However, I was flipping through the other night and it was on, and it actually caught my attention and held me. It was very interesting and well done for a television movie. I think Angie Harmon saved it, she's very good to watch. The script wasn't bad. But overall it was the fact that this was a true story and that I learned from watching it that only FIVE states in the US have laws against video voyeurism!! I couldn't believe it!

So, this was pretty good. The first Lifetime Movie I actually watched and could say I liked. I just watch Lifetime for Golden Girls and Nanny - both shows you should watch if you don't already, by the way!
