The girl that's obsessed with the husband (sorry can't remember their names!) is really freaking me out. I was unfortunate to be in a relationship with a person with Bipolar, it was literally like Jekyl and Hyde, I was treated really badly so if you've had experience with someone like that you may not want to watch it, it's pretty bad anyway!

The woman who turned
Prismark1022 January 2016
Christina Cox plays an Anger Management counsellor at a high school who discovers that her unemployed husband has been in an online relationship with a younger woman.
Suddenly Cox finds herself being smeared online and suggestive photos and videos are being posted. She thinks that it is one of her troublesome students that is behind it all. No one including her high school principal decide to call the police.
The actual cyber stalker turns out to be Ali Liebert, a doctor's receptionist and also a disturbed woman under therapy for mental health issues who begins to get increasingly loopy as she stops taking her medication and obsessed with Cox's husband.
The film leaves no cliché untouched as Liebert tries to ingratiate with the family by babysitting for them one night so she can get close to them. However Liebert displays dazzling IT skills as well becoming increasingly violent. A final showdown between the two women leads to an inept catfight and a preachy conclusion.
The film has that cheap true story type made for cable look with a low level daytime soap standard script and I am not sure where this was supposed to be based as we see shots of the CN Tower which is in Toronto.

Like a very long episode of The Bold and the Beautiful.
punishmentpark30 May 2013
The only thing I can think of that's positive about this film, is that Cox is a bit of a looker. Otherwise this is like a very long episode of The Bold and the Beautiful. There's loads of terrible dialogues and overly predictable actions played by a bunch of pretty people without charisma. The attempts to squeeze in some lessons about judging one another too soon - or whatever it is they meant - really made my skin crawl.
Of course, one could wonder why I even finished watching this film... I don't really have an answer to that. I suppose I do like the occasional bad movie once in a while, and again, Cox isn't hard to look at.
The worst film I've seen so far this year. Don't watch this unless you are a fan of the aforementioned series or want to watch something really awful for a change.

Cyber Seduction is more like Cyber Nothing

(2012) Virtual Lies
PSYCHOLOGICAL DRAMA/ THRILLER .
Made for TV movie, now available for DVD starring Christina Cox as wife Jamie Chapman who's married to William Chapman (Marc Menard) with a 12 year old son who has some asthma problems. The wife is holding family together with her two jobs and because her hubby is a architecture building designer, he is unable to find any work. What he does do instead is correspond with another girl on-line without fully knowing what she even look like even though she knows who he is. Secretary Allison Dean (Ali Liebert), exploits the place where she works to antagonize William's wife by photo- shopping her picture on-line and at the same time make up false accusations against her. Plays like a made for TV soap opera movie since much of the cast is young and polished with wooden acting.

I thought it was good, don't believe the bad reviews
abbieinisrael23 September 2015
The movie is one that keeps you paying attention, since this woman who is stalking the man is very disturbed. She tries things that are very extreme, and she has no morals whatsoever.
I finished watching it and am wondering if it is based on a true story or not. In the beginning of the film it says it is, however at the end it says it is pure fiction.
I would love to know if it is true, and if so who do the characters represent? I believe that there are sick people in the world and this very well could be true.
In short, if you like suspense I think you will enjoy this film.

Virtual Lies-Online Thriller ***1/2
edwagreen27 September 2012
Warning: Spoilers
A frustrated laid off draftsman begins an online "chat" with an emotionally unbalanced woman, who it turns out works in the office of his son's asthma doctor.
This is definitely a thriller all the way. Ironically, the guy's wife works for an anger management company that works with youth who have been through the court system.
When the wife discovers these chats, she gets her husband to break off with this psychotic woman, but the die has already been cast. Linking into the wife's computer, when she babysits for the boy, she begins quite a campaign of harassment in an attempt to ruin the wife.
Nothing will stop this sick woman, even murder for anyone getting in her way.
This is definitely an exciting thriller with the stern message of being careful when you're online.

"A. J. Hotstuff": Princeton Graduate
lavatch2 October 2020
Warning: Spoilers
In "Virtual Lies" (a.k.a., "Cyber Seduction"), Allison Dean is a young woman with excellent computer skills and a vivid imagination. She also has a troubled past and was recently institutionalized at the Laurel Oaks facility. Her psychiatrist, Dr. Turner, is concerned because Allison has stopped taking her meds. The doctor has a good cause for concern.
Using the name "A. J. Hotstuff," Allison has used a dating ap to link up with Will Chapman, whose attentions have wandered from his dedicated wife, Jamie. Will is an architect who has been out of a job. Instead of focusing on gainful employment, Will's time is being spent at home taking care of young Dylan while Jamie works two jobs, one as a school counselor and another at a community center talking to troubled teens.
Allison exploits her position as a secretary at a medical facility where Dr. Reese is treating Dylan for asthma. With her advanced computer skills, including photoshopping, Allison seeks to destroy Jamie's professional life with scurrilous, fictional articles painting her as a predator. A sad casualty in the film is the kind Dr. Reese, who gets wise to Allison's game and ends by tumbling off a cliff thanks to Allison.
Jamie was justifiably concerned about Will's lack of effort to advance his career. Other than working on a "dead-end contract," Will has failed to contribute to the family. After dreaming of being a Frank Gehry, he has now resorted to communicating online with "A. J. Hotstuff."
The film was slow-paced, and not much of an attempt was made by the Chapmans to involve the police or an investigator in what was clearly cyber crime. There were some loose ends as well in the denouement with no explanation of what actually happened to Allison.
In addition to all of her other attributes, Allison Dean was a pathological liar. She claimed to have been a student at Princeton. And, like Will, she claimed to have been on the Princeton crew team. All lies. This poor, deluded soul would have been best served as a participant in one of Jamie's support groups at the Visions Youth Center. Her own lack of vision has likely led her to look stunning for life in an orange jumpsuit.
