I don’t have an iPad or an iPhone because I’m just not cool enough, so this doesn’t apply to me, but for all of you who this does apply to, prepare for your super-fancy Apple device to ge extra groovy.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert’s Ghost House shingle has partnered with Trigger Apps to launch a paid iPhone and iPad game app for THE EVIL DEAD. The app, which will cost 2.99 for the iPhone and $4.99 for the iPad, is an action-heavy 3D shooter game that allows players to take control of Bruce Campbell’s character Ash to lead his group of friends to safety while fighting off evil zombies.
The game has more than 30 levels that are spread over two chapters. The first follows the film’s story line, while the second features a new story and new enemies. The app uses the film score, as well as signature weapons from the movie.
Said Rob Tapert: “Sam, Bruce and I have always been interested in finding ways to bring our 1980’s Evil Dead into the digital age. And taking this first step with Trigger has been a great experience.”
No specific date has been given for the launch of the app, but it’s expected to happen, according to THR, “in the coming weeks”.
Gotta say, I’d love to have the opportunity to check this out. So someone buy this app and send their iPhone or iPad to me so I can test it out. Thanks!
