'Emelie' is one of those films that is a lot more fun if you just turn your brain off and don't think about it too much. Unfortunately for me I don't like to do that. It you stop and think about the whole story for a second you'll quickly realise none of it makes a whole lot of sense. Without spoiling any character's motives, I'll just say that there isn't a lot of common sense or reasoning going on, most of which is lacking in order to stretch this movie out to an already short 80 minute run time. The writing in thrillers is rarely perfect, but there has to be a limit to the amount of absurdity and foolishness you can accept. It's not all bad though. Sarah Bolger in the lead role did a fantastic job. She had an eerie creepiness about her character, while always keeping some charisma in the mix. The children also did a very good job, giving performances that were above average. Often in these types of movies the kids become annoying very quickly and ruin the experience, but that was never the case here. There was some potential behind all this that I think has been squandered with some sloppy writing in parts. Director Michael Thelin in his first film did a fine job with what he had to work with and can keep his head up. Tweak the script here and there and you'd have yourself a very fine thriller.

I think it was bad writing because this had to be the easiest babysitter to get away from. First what parent in their right mind leave their child with not only a new babysitter recommended by someone but they don't even know what she looks like. The best thing is to have the person recommending the babysitter as back up plan to introduce you so you can get a feel of them first regardless of the recommendation. If not then Google her. So when she shows up they would have known it was not the person they were expecting. Then they had several opportunities they or at least the two oldest could have escaped. The oldest girl hugs Maggie, their real babysitter when she visits and slip her a note. I felt they could have tried to do more. Then when the oldest brother actually got out of the house instead of going to a neighbor he goes to this dweeb friend whose a kid too who guilt him about leaving his siblings behind, duh, then he should had told his friend he was stupid and useless and went and got a grown up. Also she cuts the power to a house she never been in and maneuver with a flashlight like she lived there. This girl isn't that much bigger than the kids, I saw a few times the older brother could have pushed down the stairs. The fact is why didn't she just take the younger boy that she wanted when she first got there and not bother actually playing babysitter. Instead of having her "Partner in crime" watch and hinder the parents. He could have been there picking up her and the boy she wanted. This would have been a better movie if she had said she was going to the store take the youngest, tell the oldest to watch his sister and never took the boy back. Let the movie been about something else. The last irritation is who gets up and walk from a car rolling over them twice. Meaning first it hit you and roll with the back wheels backing up then the front wheels? No one even if they don't die on the spot but a girl weighing ninety five to a buck five. Makes it to contrive to enjoy the potential it had because the acting was good overall. Watch it if it's .99 or free otherwise it could have been a Lifetime Movie.

This movie makes me physically sick. I couldn't even finish it. It's not a psychological thriller, it's a movie portraying feasible and explicit child abuse with a bunch of completely illogical wanna be thriller elements thrown in. It makes you think hard about the mental health of the writer and producers. Absolute garbage, in no way is it art.

I didn't think there was anything more that could be done with the evil babysitter genre and, on reflection, I was probably right. On the other hand there were two or three clever scenes I've not seen before but nothing that had me gripping the edge of my seat. The saddest part of the movie was the sequel-begging ending. I'm sorry, but even though cast and crew gave of their best there is nothing here I want to see again. If, like me, you downloaded this for nothing, you might be entertained late-night after a few drinks but I wouldn't pay to see it and I will certainly not be awaiting the next instalment. Plus points are that the menacing moments were exactly that - menacing rather than explicit - but the whole thing has TV movie/direct-to-DVD written all over it.

Everything from the story, to the children acting was spot on, the starting of the movie was good, the sequence of the scenes and the total story is well put together. It is not a strong horror movie, the girl named Emelie represent a true twisted sick personality. the children acted wonderfully, there were some gross scenes that makes your eyes pops if you are a parent or planning to be, but the bold scenes added more strength because these things happen! I also loved that they did not catch her, hoping ,there will be another part! it's promising, and different from boring typical haunted house or possessed person horror movies that adds nothing. If you are looking for something different ,this will please you , however if you are into the repeated classic ghosts or supernatural then this is not for you.

Spoiler alert Movie feels like a bad lifetime movie directed by an obnoxious artsy type of guy. I can just tell whomever did this thinks that they're an artiste. No, no you're not. It appears more time was spent trying to add in the music score than actually have a decent script that made some sort of sense. This movie was absurd because the children are portrayed as docile and easily led. Most children can be incredibly feral and ferocious if you attempt to harm them and/or their siblings. But in this insipid flick an 11 year old boy is too scared to protect his 9 year old sister and 4 year old brother from 110lb little female until the fake babysitter murders their real babysitter. So, so dumb.

Emelie marks a thrilling feature debut for Director Michael Thelin. The film has you on the edge of your seat from the very first frame. Emelie also features several outstanding performances, led by Sarah Bolger, who plays the eponymous role. Overall, the film operates as more of a slow burn than an outright horror film. While many films in the genre have taken to "jump scares," Emelie is unafraid to keep the camera rolling and let your imagination do the rest. Thelin skillfully engages the eye, and the mind, while developing unique characters that we genuinely care about. I highly recommend this film: it is bound to bring many new fans to thriller genre.
