Emelie (2016)
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.

not horrible nor great
Just perfect...
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Me and my lady had just finished a lovely carvery down the local, arrived back home and found this to watch, 30 minutes in i've already guessed the ending, so I started playing rocket league on the Nintendo switch, Mrs wasn't happy and complained a few times. Ranked up to 'pro' so fairly happy with that. Film ended exactly as guessed. Decent for background noise
Needing an emergency babysitter a couple calls in Anna (Sarah Bolger). She is a kid's dream and a parent's nightmare. At 44 minutes into the film we find out things are not what they seem as the kids rebel against her.This has a similar feel as a home break-in film after a while. There were too many phones, devices in the house, and too many friends and neighbors for me to feel the endangerment. I liked how they worked back to the car and being anything you want, and Jacob taking control. Sarah Bolger did a good job with the role, it just wasn't a convincing tale. Worth a rental.Guide: 1 F-word. We hear a sex tape. Not much in nudity.
I have literally just finished watching this film, and I must say I find it to be pretty good. Horror films are very hard to get right these days, and IMDb reviews certainly are not the most kind to the genre in terms of ratings. Emelie has a great plot to it...one that is original, and exciting. I would have said it was more of a thriller then a horror film, but it had a few good scary moments. Throughout the film, you are always kept on your toes, and I was gripped to my seat. Deffinately worth a watch, if your into decent modern horror films.
Slow, too slow, not frightening, not scary, a bit of a thriller with no surprises. Sure the acting is good, the photography is good, technically, the film is well made but, honestly, the whole film could have lasted 30 minutes (with advs), have more suspense in it (I guess they tried to put some suspense but they failed). The pace is constant till the end making no climax at all. Don't bother to watch it, it's a C movie with a nice cover.
