Almost 10 years after its release, I finally sat down and watched <I>Emelie</i>. Immediately, we're roped in to what evolves into a babysitter-gone-bad scenario, with unexpected results. Strong performances by all, as well as disturbing scenes and a somewhat solid storyline.
<B>Final thoughts:</b>
Clever thriller that unravels your worst fears (if you're a parent and need a babysitter).

After their regular babysitter cancels, the Thompson family turns to her friend, Anna to supervise their children while the parents go out to celebrate their anniversary. At first Anna seems like a dream come true to the kids, allowing them to eat extra cookies and play with things that are usually off-limits, but as her behaviour becomes increasingly odd, the kids soon find out that her intentions are dark and twisted—and she is not who she seems to be.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A babysitter's friendly facade cracks into something sinister in this confined, escalating nightmare. Watching children realize the danger they're in becomes increasingly claustrophobic and horrifying.
