Every parent will tell you that the idea of something terrible happening to their child is one of their worst fears. From injuries to kidnapping to death, these are the sorts of things that keep parents up at night. Movies then that focus on crazy babysitters who are out to somehow cause injury to a minor play directly to fears of adults and kids alike. This gives the Michael Thelin directed Emelie a leg up on other horror competition, but it's isn't an advantage the film is always able to cash in on.
The movie stars Sarah Bolger as Emelie, although when the audience first meets her she is going by Anna. This is because Anna is the name of the babysitter Emelie and her co-conspirator have kidnapped so that Emelie can sit for the Thompson children, Jacob (Joshua Rush), Sally (Carly Adams), and Christopher (Thomas Bair). In fact, the movie opens with the kidnapping and it sets up all the dread that is to follow with some skill.
From these first moments continuing throughout its entire run, Emelie excels at offering a great, tension-filled, atmosphere. Regularly, the camera acts as an interloper, whether it's inside the Thompson house as things go downhill, or watching the parents, Joyce (Susan Pourfar) and Dan (Chris Beetem), as they are out at their anniversary dinner. There are definitely moments when slightly brighter lighting would have increased the dread as some scenes are hard to make out, but the fear still exists in the shadows.
If one went by atmosphere alone, Emelie would be a homerun. Bolger carries the movie, oozing a sense of evil that is barely concealed under a seemingly benign surface. As that surface is stripped away, the character never goes too broad, maintaining a close to realistic feel even as her plan unfolds.
The babysitter from hell is something that has been offered up more than once, and with good reason – it plays upon fears of both children and adults alike. Sarah Bolger's performance as exactly one of these sorts of sitters is outstanding, offering both a great underlying logic for why she has fallen from grace and a true sense of menace. Her char...
Mar 4, 2016 · 4 min read. Anchored by a spectacularly committed performance by Sarah Bolger (best known for TV’s “The Tudors” and “Once Upon A Time”), “Emelie” is a tidy and nasty and often effective thriller that doesn’t quite blossom into full horror.
