Plot:
The Thompson family’s regular babysitter can’t make it, so they get a replacement on short notice. The girl who introduces herself as Anna (Sarah Bolger) seems well-suited, but only as long as the parents are there. As soon as they’re gone, Jacob (Joshua Rush), the oldest kid, becomes suspicious. Something is going on with that babysitter. Her name isn’t even Anna, it’s Emelie. But what’s the game?
Emelie works well building up the suspense, but as soon as we get to the part were her motivations are being revealed, it completely falls apart.
