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.

An Exercise In Nonsense
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Blistering performances.
This movie makes me physically sick. I couldn't even finish it. It's not a psychological thriller, it's a movie portraying feasible and explicit child abuse with a bunch of completely illogical wanna be thriller elements thrown in. It makes you think hard about the mental health of the writer and producers. Absolute garbage, in no way is it art.
"Emelie" starts out as intriguing, then falls apart in the third act. I agree with some of the other reviews alluding to this. Also, the last part of the film is so poorly LIT, it is difficult to see what is going on. Satisfactory for passing your time if nothing else is available on Netflix.
When i saw the premise of this movie I thought to myself , "here we go, another crazy babysitter movie." And actually didn't bother to watch it. It wasn't until a friend mentioned to me how crazy it was that i decided to check it out. I love how uncomfortable i felt the entire film. I could literally feel my hands clinching during many parts , as i didn't know what to expect . There weren't any cheap jump scares either which was also a plus , sheer intensity through dialogue , direction , and atnohsphere, the way it's supposed to be done ! With a kick ass climax ! My only critique is that i wish the baby sitter's motive would've been explained more somehow , as it's kinda confusing exactly WHY she was doing this . But other than that , GREAT flick to watch late at night with some popcorn and blankets
Starts off creepily enough, a girl walking down the street gets abducted broad daylight, no one notices, seconds later, everything's calm, and the Thompsons' are planning a night out, it's their anniversary!! And the babysitter... a friend of friend of a friend, type deal, Anna is hired to watch the kiddos. And all is great for a while, til it takes a really creepy turn, involving the 11 year old boy walking in on Anna in the bathroom, but she doesn't mind, after all, she just had her period and needs the kid to find his moms tampons for her, ahh kids... And after reading the kids a bedtime story, her own life story, we know Anna is not Anna, she is um, insane... I thought it was a pretty intense horror/thriller, and I think it's worth a watch!
