Plot Summary

Legendary rock band Foo Fighters move into an Encino, California mansion steeped in gruesome rock and roll history to record their much-anticipated 10th album. Once in the house, Dave Grohl is targeted by supernatural forces that threaten both the completion of the album and the lives of the band.

Critical Reception

Studio 666 received generally negative reviews from critics, with many criticizing its predictable plot and uneven tone. However, audiences, particularly fans of the Foo Fighters, found enjoyment in the band's commitment to the comedic and horror elements, and the numerous musical performances.

What Reviewers Say

  • While the premise is amusing and the Foo Fighters' willingness to embrace the absurdity is commendable, the film ultimately falters with a by-the-numbers horror plot and a lack of genuine scares or laughs.

  • Fans of the band may find some entertainment value in the various musical numbers and the members' on-screen antics, but the movie struggles to find a consistent tone between horror, comedy, and musical.

  • The film's ambition to blend a heavy metal horror aesthetic with a comedy starring a real-life rock band doesn't quite land, resulting in a messy but occasionally watchable experience.

Google audience: Google users appreciated the unique concept and the chance to see the Foo Fighters in a different light, with many enjoying the music and the band's humor. However, some viewers found the plot to be unoriginal and the horror elements not particularly frightening.

Fun Fact

The film was inspired by a real-life experience where Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters recorded an album in a haunted house.
