Emelie
Director Michael Thelin | 2016 | 79 minutes | Thriller, Horror | English
As their parents head out for a date in the city, the three young Thompson children – Jacob, Christopher and Sally – immediately take to their new babysitter Anna (Sarah Bolger, Into the Badlands, Once Upon a Time), 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 and Anna’s interactions with them take on a more sinister tone, the kids slowly realize that their caretaker may not be who she claims to be. Soon it’s up to big brother Jacob to protect his siblings from the increasingly nefarious intentions of a very disturbed woman whose weapon is trust, and whose target is innocence.
“Sarah Bolger gives a fantastically unhinged performance…Will stay with you for quite some time.”
– Craig Hunter, Screen Relish
“Provocative, engaging and terrifying…A commanding piece of cinema”
– Ollie Charles, Front Row Reviews
“Genuinely unsettling.”
– Frank Scheck, The Hollywood Reporter
“Sarah Bolger’s devious turn as the evil babysitter feels like a character out of a fairy tale or urban legend.”
– Samuel Zimmerman, Shock Till You Drop
