Review: The Foo Fighters make a horror movie

©2021 Open Road Films

For anyone who found the band tensions that reverberate in “The Beatles: Get Back” too tame, the Foo Fighters have made a movie in which arguments over recording an album lead to a trail of dead bodies — and, no, this isn't Yoko's fault, either.

“Studio 666," a horror-comedy starring the six members of the Foo Fighters as themselves, is one of the sillier concepts to reach the big screen in a while. That it even exists is part of the joke — maybe even the whole joke. While Dave Grohl and company were making their 10th album at a big, old house in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley, they hit on the idea of a bloodier riff on “This Is Spinal Tap" that would parody not just themselves but any band that's ever sequestered themselves in a colorful locale said to have good sound.
