The ‘un-lethal’ tale of sweet and deadly zombie-hunter Juliet Starling and her quest to find the cause of a massive zombie epidemic is told in Lollipop Chainsaw.
Juliet slices, dices, and splits her way through hordes of the undead with her wickedly fantastic chainsaw in hand, but she quickly finds the horde is merely the first act of a festival of zombie rock lords out to murder the chainsaw-wielding cheerleader. Lollipop Chainsaw is being created by GRASSHOPPER MANUFACTURE, under the direction of renowned game creator Goichi Suda (aka SUDA 51), and includes music by the esteemed Akira Yamaoka. In addition, the script for Lollipop Chainsaw was written by Hollywood filmmaker and writer James Gunn (Super, Slither, Dawn of the Dead, Tromeo and Juliet).
