Poco después de la guerra de Corea, el flautista Woo-ryong y su hijo viajan a Seúl. Un día, hacen una parada en una pequeña aldea en medio del bosque. El pueblo está infestado de ratas, y el flautista hace un trato con el cabecilla del lugar para librarlos de la plaga. Pero una vez cumplida la misión, Woo-ryong será traicionado, y su venganza convertirá el filme en una negrísima variación del cuento del flautista de Hamelín. (Sitges Film Festival)

The Piper may have made some money in Korean cinemas, but it didn't impress me at all. It's quite nicely made, there are some decent make-up effects in places, but the gore is missing, the atmosphere doesn't really work, it drags. Overall, not much. 35%

Again – beautifully shot, some of the masks are excellent, but even though it is not that long, you get the feeling that it's taking forever; they aren't that great at creating the atmosphere and some things didn't quite make sense to me. But I guess I'm in the same boat as LangiJ; I didn't pay too much attention and probably "skipped" something. I think it would have been much better if it hadn't been a period piece, i.e. without the end of the war. And if instead of a rat the village had been taken care of by a proper virus... but that would be a different film.
