“A children’s legend turns into a horrifying nightmare in Piper, a wickedly creepy horror-fantasy that tells a terrifying tale of children paying for the sins of their parents,” the synopsis reads. “Émigré Liz (Hurley) moves to a quaint German town with her daughter Amy but ends up in the Piper’s crosshairs when it is revealed she’s hiding a dark secret from her past that puts Amy’s life in jeopardy. Liz and Amy individually learn the truth behind the legend of the Piper who is a cruel and vengeful minister of harsh justice, punishing adults who get away with crimes by taking away their children. No longer a legend of yesteryear, the Piper is real with his judging eyes set on Liz and her dark secret. The girl’s only hope for salvation comes when she falls for a young and mysterious street magician, Luca. Can he save her from the Piper’s clutches?”
Waller also wrote the script for the movie, which is based on a story by Duncan Kennedy, and serves as a producer alongside Gleb Fetisov and Alexander Buchman. The cast of the movie also includes Mia Jenkins, Jack Stewart, Tara Fitzgerald, Ryan Webber, and Robert Daws.
“The idea of transforming a children’s fairy tale into a dark and multi-layered contemporary story has always fascinated me,” said Waller. “It allowed me to create a hybrid world out of a past and present Hamelin where restless medieval spirits play upon the consciences of our modern-day characters, drawing them into a tug of war between love and vengeance, guilt and denial, penance and retribution that spans centuries. While doing so, I wanted to maintain an ambiguity in the storytelling as to how various events can be interpreted, both as a deliberate manipulation by the locals to perpetuate a Piper myth that maintains strict law and order in Hamelin, or as a vengeful supernatural spirit from the past who sniffs out the guilt of those who have gotten away with a crime, and punishes them by taking away their children.”
