As their parents head out for a date in the city, the Thompson children immediately take to their new babysitter Anna who seems like a dream come true: she's sweet, fun, and lets them do things that break all of their parents' rules. But as the night creeps along Anna's interactions with them take on a more sinister tone and the kids slowly realize that their caretaker may not be who she claims to be. Featuring a tour-de-force performance from Sarah Bolger (The Tudors, Once Upon a Time), Emelie is a multidimensional, nail-biting thriller that asks the question: how can you put an end to horror after you've already let it in?

An interesting premise, but the pervasive PG13 feel makes Emelie a very light horror spectacle. It's a shame that they didn’t push the envelope at all, there’s not twist and the finale is not intense enough. The performances by the kids and the deranged babysitter pull it up to better than average.

Exactly the kind of film that will leave you with a lot of uncomfortable feelings, and those feelings will linger after watching it. When they hire a girl to babysit their kids, they have no idea what she'll actually cause. When I see this, I really reconsider whether I should ever leave my kids with someone I don't know, even if they come recommended. I still have to shake it off, even though the ending was too traditional.
