Millennium Media Set to Produce ‘The Piper’ from Erlingur Thoroddsen

The Piper

Millennium Media has teamed with Icelandic writer/director Erlingur Thoroddsen to produce a new horror film titled The Piper.

Based on the Pied Piper fairy tale, the film focuses on a young composer who is commissioned to complete her late mentor’s final concerto. Unfortunately for her, she soon discovers the melody is tied to a sinister force and playing the music comes with deadly repercussions.

The Hollywood Reporter broke the story in an exclusive last evening after the Golden Globes. Jeffrey Greenstein was quoted by the publication saying:

“We’re excited to bring the legend of the Pied Piper of Hamelin to life in a way that’s never been seen before. Set in the rich world of orchestral music, this film will establish The Piper as a terrifying horror icon whose melody will send chills down audiences’ spines for ages to come.”

Thoroddsen wrote and directed a series of short films before his feature debut with the boogeyman-inspired Child Eater followed by Rift, the story of two men whose relationship has ended who become haunted by tragic moments from their past. More recently, he wrote Midnight Kiss, a feature “episode” as part of Blumhouse and Hulu’s Into the Dark series. That film was directed by Carter Smith (The Ruins).

Millennium has primarily been known for their work on action franchises but they began scaling back to smaller budgeted projects after the onset of Covid-19. They are currently shopping the film at the virtual European Film Market.

We love a good, dark fairy tale here at iHorror and the Pied Piper has always been one of those creepy stories with a premise so unsettling that it’s almost hard to believe parents tell it to their children. We will keep you posted on further details about The Piper as they become available.

New ‘The Watchers’ Trailer Adds More to the Mystery

Published

on

Although the trailer is almost double its original, there is still nothing we can glean from The Watchers other than a harbinger parrot who loves to say, “Try not to die.” But what do you expect this is a Shyamalan project, Ishana Night Shyamalan to be exact.

She is the daughter of twist-ending prince director M. Night Shyamalan who also has a movie coming out this year. And just like her father, Ishana is keeping everything mysterious in her movie trailer.

“You can’t see them, but they see everything,” is the tagline for this movie.

They tell us in the synopsis: “The film follows Mina, a 28-year-old artist, who gets stranded in an expansive, untouched forest in western Ireland. When Mina finds shelter, she unknowingly becomes trapped alongside three strangers who are watched and stalked by mysterious creatures each night.”

The Watchers opens theatrically on June 7.
