THE PIPER: Deliciously Grim Trailer For Korean Reimagining Of The Classic Tale
Though Pierce reviewed Kim Gwang-tae's dark fairy tale re-imagining The Piper back in July we've somehow neglected to post the trailer for what, by all accounts, is one of the stronger efforts from Korea this year, a situation we remedy now.

Shortly after the Korean War, a man and his son, Woo-ryong and Young-nam, arrive in an isolated mountain village looking for work in order to make enough money to continue their journey to Seoul. Against the chief's better judgment, Woo-ryong is allowed to do odd jobs and soon realizes the village suffers a major rat infestation. Like a mid-century Pied Piper, he makes a deal with the chief to rod the town of the rats but when the time comes to collect his fee and leave, the chief double crosses the father and son. Vowing revenge, he lures the rats back, fulfilling an old prophesy that brings horror to the village.
