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.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Why does someone even make a movie like this? It's a sick world when people accept a movie where children are subjected to such things as a girl intentionally putting a tampon in in front of a young boy. The whole movie was demented which seems to be the norm for Netflix these days. After they refused to cancel the movie Desire, with a 10 year old girl getting off on a pillow, I cancelled my subscription with them

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

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.

Who is this babysitter? They really give little to no build up or insight as to her motives and personality. Although you can tell very quickly she's going to be a bad egg before she even gets into the house, they don't give you any back story as to why and even throughout the movie, you never really find out anything other than she must have lost a child (boy) of her own (How? Who knows) but that's about it. Pretty shallow.The opening abduction scene never really ties into the rest of the story either. Who's the blonde girl who was abducted. Who's the guy working with her that eventually crashes his car into the car the parents were riding in at the end? He killed himself doing it, so was he purposely buying her the time she needed, or was it accidental? The body of the early abductee was in it, but was she dead already, or was it from he crash? Why don't we see his face? Why was she abducted. What does it have to do with anything?Also, the are many instances for the kids to escape her, or to let others know she was a psycho that makes everything harder to swallow. Anyone who has/knows kids know none of this would play out like it did. Finally, the ending with how the kids escape her and are rescued came abruptly without a whole lot of drama, action, or thrill that movies like this typically end with. It was like they allowed the Hallmark Channel or ABC Family to produce the last 10 minutes.I mean; I've seen Sesame Street characters go down harder than this wacko babysitter and we all knew she wasn't going to be there in the driveway when the they got back to the house. I get the director was going for almost a Halloween type ending so the character could return for a sequel(s), which is why she was "gently" run over, but it all failed miserably. I wasn't expecting much from this movie to begin with, but even for what it was, it wasn't very good at all.
