Reel Film Reviews
Parents in the market for some deserved date-night distraction couldn't do much worse than "Emelie" - and that's meant as a compliment.

Los Angeles Times
A familiarly premised but stringently executed home-invasion chiller that rarely goes for the straight-up scare when a more insidious one will do.

The result is reasonably satisfying, but the direction shifts from tensile to muddy in the run-up to the finale.

Not only could Emelie feasibly start a spate of similar psycho babysitter knock-offs if successful but it is also a great deal more interesting than most of its sub-genre predecessors.

Product Description:
When their regular babysitter can't make it, two suburban parents hire her friend "Anna" (Sarah Bolger) to look after their three children while they enjoy a night out. But when Anna's behavior becomes increasingly unhinged, eldest sibling Jacob (Joshua Rush) grows suspicious and discovers that she's actually an imposter named Emelie who has sinister designs on the family's youngest child. Directed by Michael Thelin, EMELIE made its world premiere at the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival.
