As soon as the parents have left, he starts psychologically terrorizing Helen and his sister with electronic tricks.

The film constructs its dread from the mundane, relying on the familiar setting of a babysitting gig to amplify the intrusion of calculated, technological malice. It explores the vulnerability of its protagonist through a battle of wits where the home itself becomes a weaponized trap.
What lingers after the credits is a chilling reminder of how easily trust can be dismantled by a clever, emotionless mind. The horror stems not from the supernatural, but from a plausible corruption of innocence. — MovieFinder Editorial
