Me gusta el cine

If you're horror fans, you will find nothing of interest in “The Piper”; in fact, you will laugh instead of scream in fear. And if you're looking for an interesting story or good acting, you'll find some of that — but not enough. Full review in Spanish.

Rated: 1.5/5

Thoroddsen's script may be a little too familiar, but his knack for visuals elevates the material.

A solid, albeit familiar take on the classic tale. One wishes the supporting characters had a little more to do in order to flesh them out, but several sequences and the practical FX pop. Christopher Young's score is the stand-out.

Rated: 3/5

Bloody Disgusting

The end product is often too straightforward and predictable for more demanding audiences these days, however, this tale of sealed evil is not entirely tuneless.

Rated: 2.5/5

Eye for Film

The musical work within the film is its greatest asset so one wonders if certain scenes ended up being edited to suit it, rather than the other way around.

Rated: 2/5

One Guy's Opinion

Listless and lethargic.... The silliness of “The Piper” is exceeded only by its dullness.

Rated: D+

If you're wondering what happened to the Night King from the Game of Thrones, he ends here, writing music and playing the flute, causing demonic havoc. Utterly preposterous, even for fantasy/horror schlock. Watch Mario Bava's "Demons" instead.

This movie brought me back to the horror films of the 80s and 90s. I loved it! The ending was visually exciting. The music was cinematic but still evoked all the best horror films. The director clearly loves classic horror films and it really translated visually. Definite recommend!
