If Dave Grohl wants to make a horror-comedy film, who are we to stop him? The man is a force of rock’n’roll nature, and when this kind of person — you know, the one who’s spent the past 30-odd years shovelling his own blood, sweat and tears into some of the planet’s biggest bands — sets about doing something, it feels like there’s little you can do to prevent it.
Which is roughly the reason why we’ve ended up with Studio 666, a feature film starring Grohl and his Foo Fighters bandmates as fictionalised versions of themselves. Keen to find a new, out-there studio to record their landmark 10th album, we follow Dave and the guys as they move into an abandoned LA mansion to lay down the new music. Things swiftly get spooky.
