The Piper

Shortly after the Korean War, flautist Woo-ryong and his son travel to Seoul. One day, they make a stop in a small village in the middle of the woods. The town is infested with rats and the flautist makes a deal with the local leader to free them of the plague. But once he's completed his mission, Woo-ryong will be betrayed and his vengeance will turn this film into an extremely dark variation on the tale of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. (Sitges Film Festival)
