Review of Emelie (2016) by Originaldanger — 05 Jun 2021

Emelie is a film that was made in 2015 or 2016, not sure to be honest but who cares. It's a horror/thriller and the story seems simple enough, the parents of three children get a babysitter in while they are on a date and apparently her names Anna.

She seems like a lovely young lady but turns very creepy as time goes on and even watches what seems to be dirty adult videos with the children she's babysitting and turns rather hideous and nasty towards them.

I've to be honest I enjoyed the beginning and this film was great until the end which was awful and it's a dark film and Sarah Bolger was excellent as Anna or Emilie as one of the kids discovers raiding her bag to find out their so called babysitter isn't who she is intended to be.

This so called horror lacks gore, blood but it is fairly scary but destroyed as the film develops and a lot of it's in darkness and you've no idea what's going on and the ending sucks badly. The babysitter even tells one of the children about her period which was seriously disturbing along with what seems to be a dirty adult video she watches with the children which was also disturbing.

Great acting by all the cast but poor film and an ending that destroyed the good work originally done earlier in the movie. Avoid this film.
