![]() ![]() ![]() It was obviously shot in a way where the kids were probably watching something else, but just the idea that Emelie would do this makes her far more detestable and devious than if she had something far more straightforward like I don't even know honestly. The darkest scene would definitely have to be the one where Emelie shows the kids a sex tape of their parents. The film does go, like I mentioned, to some pretty dark places. Like I can buy that far more than other films that share similarities to this. I can buy a mother, who's also unable to conceive another child, being so emotionally distraught at the death of child that she would go to the extreme of pretending to be someone else in order to kidnap a child she can call her own. What I liked about the movie isn't the fact that it's realistic or anything of the sort, but the story itself is far more believable than just another movie where all the sitter wants to do is kill the family for no real reason whatsoever. To find out who's the perfect kid for her, she does these tests, if they can even be called that, which are pretty fucked up. She's basically doing this to find the perfect kid for her to kidnap and raise as her after her own baby died in an accident, that was her own fault, but an accident nonetheless. The plot is pretty simple, Emelie, the sitter, and this man she knows, who is never named, kidnap and kill the real babysitter so Emelie can pretend to be her. In many ways it's also a home invasion thriller, though the film does throw in some small little twists so it's not so straightforward of a movie. This isn't your typical 'evil babysitter' movie, which is really just a variation of the 'evil caretaker' subgenre that we, honestly, as far as I can tell, we don't get many movies from. I do not know if this review will be very long, but I'll see what I can do. ![]()
