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)

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.
