The premise
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.
Horror Vault's take
When the Thompson family's regular babysitter cancels last minute, a stranger named Anna steps in — and at first she seems like every kid's dream, bending the rules and winning their trust with ease. But beneath her charming exterior lies something deeply wrong, and the children begin to sense that this woman has an agenda far more disturbing than they can fully understand. Director Michael Thelin crafts an intimate, suffocating thriller that draws its horror not from the supernatural but from the terrifying reality of a predator in the home. Sarah Bolger delivers a quietly chilling performance that makes Emelie one of the more underrated entries in the babysitter-horror subgenre.
