Product Description:
When their regular babysitter can't make it, two suburban parents hire her friend "Anna" (Sarah Bolger) to look after their three children while they enjoy a night out. But when Anna's behavior becomes increasingly unhinged, eldest sibling Jacob (Joshua Rush) grows suspicious and discovers that she's actually an imposter named Emelie who has sinister designs on the family's youngest child. Directed by Michael Thelin, EMELIE made its world premiere at the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival.
