In STUDIO 666, Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Foo Fighters move into an Encino mansion steeped in grisly rock history to record their much anticipated 10th album. Once in the house, Dave Grohl finds himself grappling with supernatural forces that threaten both the completion of the album and the lives of the band.
Studio 666 doesn't quite take its horror-comedy hybrid to 11, but if you're in the mood, this cheerfully over-the-top outing is a lot of fun.

The comedy will be hit or miss, which is entirely dependent on the viewers’ own sense of humor. |

| 176438 | Sarah Ward | Concrete Playground | Rotten | — | 2022-06-25T06:21:49Z | 2022-06-25 06:21:49 | It's a clear bit of fun for everyone involved, and it's made with overflowing love for the genre it slips into and parodies. But it's an indulgent and stretched exercise in famous folks following their whims at times like these, too. |

An idea perhaps best suited to a shorter length, or even better, another music video for the band, Studio 666 will test even the most devoted fans commitment. |

Anderson | Common Sense Media | Fresh | 3/5 | 2022-03-19T20:39:10Z | 2022-03-19 20:39:10 | What this rock 'n' roll horrorcomedy lacks in skill -- it's no Get Out or Babadook -- it makes up for with an infectious, rambunctious spirit and an ability to mess around close to the edge. |

| 176459 | Sarah Gopaul | Digital Journal | Fresh | — | 2022-03-08T04:25:26Z | 2022-03-08 04:25:26 | The film resourcefully draws on other horror pictures to inspire key elements of the story. |

| 176464 | Dennis Harvey | 48 Hills | Rotten | — | 2022-03-04T21:56:26Z | 2022-03-04 21:56:26 | Only Grohl himself demonstrates more than a “good sport” level of acting talent, while cameos by people like Will Forte and Lionel Ritchie only brighten matters as much as their so-so material allows. |
| 176465 | Stephen Silver | Splice Today | Rotten | C | 2022-03-04T21:04:13Z | 2022-03-04 21:04:13 | Its a strange lark, but some of the gore is memorable, and there some laughs. |

And yet, within those auspices, it's just charming enough to work. |

Look for cameos, plenty of gore, and Grohl calling the shots. There goes my hero, indeed. |

| 176504 | Michael Gingold | Rue Morgue Magazine | Rotten | — | 2022-02-25T16:38:44Z | 2022-02-25 16:38:44 | The film has more to offer Foo fanatics than it does to horror hounds, a few seriously splattery setpieces notwithstanding. |
| 176505 | Aaron Neuwirth | We Live Entertainment | Fresh | 6/10 | 2022-02-25T15:38:25Z | 2022-02-25 15:38:25 | "Studio 666" may as well be called "Scooby Foo," as it puts the band in a haunted house to let them enjoy playing movie versions of themselves for 90 minutes while dealing with spooky things. |
| 176506 | Jochan Embley | London Evening Standard | Rotten | 2/5 | 2022-02-25T15:25:40Z | 2022-02-25 15:25:40 | By the time we reach the scene where two characters are just repeatedly kicking each other in the testicles, you can feel the last drops of goodwill evaporating. |
| 176507 | Sonny Bunch | The Bulwark | Rotten | 2/4 | 2022-02-25T15:19:15Z | 2022-02-25 15:19:15 | As a vanity project, its interesting. As a piece of filmmaking, I cant quite recommend it. |
| 176508 | Dulcie Pearce | The Sun (UK) | Fresh | 3/5 | 2022-02-25T13:08:07Z | 2022-02-25 13:08:07 | There is plenty for fans to enjoy if you are prepared to suspend your disbelief and embrace this for what it is. |
| 176509 | Brian Viner | Daily Mail (UK) | Fresh | 3/5 | 2022-02-25T13:02:11Z | 2022-02-25 13:02:11 | It all gets rather silly and exceedingly gory, although among fans, who won't mind the lumpen acting, it might just have the makings of a cult classic. |
| 176510 | Randy Myers | San Jose Mercury News | Fresh | 3/4 | 2022-02-25T12:34:35Z | 2022-02-25 12:34:35 | The acting isn’t Oscar caliber, but who cares since the spirited hijinks and go-for-broke attitude of the Foo Fighters is utterly irresistible in this gory, entertaining supernatural romp that riffs on the music industry. |
| 176511 | Carla Hay | Culture Mix | Rotten | — | 2022-02-25T05:44:14Z | 2022-02-25 05:44:14 | Studio 666 gets bogged down in too many dull horror stereotypes to be consistently campy fun ... There are Foo Fighters interviews that are funnier than what Studio 666 fails to accomplish in being an original horror comedy to showcase the band. |
| 176512 | Korey Coleman | Double Toasted | Fresh | — | 2022-02-25T04:10:02Z | 2022-02-25 04:10:02 | Foo Fighters aren't trying to be thespians. This is the band messing around, having fun, and that actually felt sincere. |
| 176513 | Rob Hunter | Film School Rejects | Fresh | — | 2022-02-25T00:22:08Z | 2022-02-25 00:22:08 | A horror/comedy that delivers big laughs, bloody gore, and some headbanging good times. |
| 176514 | Steven Prokopy | Third Coast Review | Fresh | 2.5/4 | 2022-02-24T22:31:21Z | 2022-02-24 22:31:21 | The movie is a minor hoot while its playing, but it mostly plays like a forgettable, amateur-hour production. |
| 176515 | Perri Nemiroff | Perri Nemiroff (YouTube) | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2022-02-24T21:49:44Z | 2022-02-24 21:49:44 | A bloody delight that makes me love the Foo Fighters even more than I already did. |
| 176516 | Katie Walsh | Los Angeles Times | Rotten | 1.5/4 | 2022-02-24T21:12:13Z | 2022-02-24 21:12:13 | The jokes are stale, the energy is stilted, and the whole thing feels like a misbegotten vanity exercise cooked up in the pandemic to keep them occupied... for die-hard Foo fans only. |
| 176517 | Thom Ernst | Original Cin | Rotten | C+ | 2022-02-24T20:57:50Z | 2022-02-24 20:57:50 | Amateur-level acting is one of several debits undermining this well-intentioned but lame Foo Fighters mockumentary-horror-comedy mashup. |
| 176518 | Jonathan W. Hickman | The Newnan Times-Herald | Rotten | 4/10 | 2022-02-24T19:38:55Z | 2022-02-24 19:38:55 | This insipid, horror, fantasy spoof featuring rock star Dave Grohl and his Foo Fighter band members is an inane and lazy film that squanders the groups goodwill. |
| 176519 | Julian Roman | MovieWeb | Fresh | 2.5/5 | 2022-02-24T18:45:06Z | 2022-02-24 18:45:06 | Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters camp it up in a humorous, but exceedingly violent B-movie gore-fest. Studio 666 is loaded with vulgar language, bloody murder, and of course, shredding death metal music. I laughed much more than expected. |
| 176520 | Tim Robey | Daily Telegraph (UK) | Rotten | 2/5 | 2022-02-24T17:54:49Z | 2022-02-24 17:54:49 | The major crime of this film, other than the indulgence factor of watching wealthy rockers lark about making a totally disposable film for the sheer heck of it, is prolonged tedium. |
| 176521 | Mark Dujsik | Mark Reviews Movies | Rotten | 2/4 | 2022-02-24T16:52:28Z | 2022-02-24 16:52:28 | The movie, which sacrifices music for a straightforward but comedic venture into horror, doesn't play to the influential and beloved group's strengths. |
| 176522 | Nate Adams | The Only Critic | Rotten | D | 2022-02-24T15:10:15Z | 2022-02-24 15:10:15 | There's no telling what inspired Grohl to test his cinematic chops with this bloody, grotesque and painfully unfunny movie, but Studio 666 doesn't have the punch or sustaining flavor to outlast a group of talented musicians who cant sell the material. |
| 176523 | Jenny Nulf | Austin Chronicle | Rotten | — | 2022-02-24T14:18:16Z | 2022-02-24 14:18:16 | Studio 666 feels like a dud – a horror movie with no good hooks and a rock & roll film that lacks the bombastic energy that’s ever present at the band’s live shows. |
| 176524 | Wesley Morris | New York Times | Fresh | — | 2022-02-24T13:36:41Z | 2022-02-24 13:36:41 | The movie exudes real “Scooby-Doo”-meets-“The Shining” vibes that rope in Korean horror and extend to Grohl, who gives, if not his all, then at least his most charismatic “some.” |
| 176525 | Adam Graham | Detroit News | Rotten | C | 2022-02-24T13:33:24Z | 2022-02-24 13:33:24 | It quickly grows tedious, an inside joke in search of a punchline. |
| 176526 | Mick LaSalle | San Francisco Chronicle | Fresh | 2.5/4 | 2022-02-24T13:32:46Z | 2022-02-24 13:32:46 | “Studio 666” is OK musically, and is reasonably funny, benefiting from Grohl, who is a natural comedian. But the movie drags because of its length. |
| 176527 | Richard Crouse | Richard Crouse | Fresh | 3/5 | 2022-02-24T13:20:35Z | 2022-02-24 13:20:35 | Its unlikely Foo Fighters will make any Best Actor list, but that's not the point here. This is a loving tribute to the movies Blockbuster kept near the back of the store--devil possession flicks with low fi effects and some fun thrills and chills. |
| 176528 | Josh Bell | The Inlander (Spokane, WA) | Rotten | 2/4 | 2022-02-24T11:49:58Z | 2022-02-24 11:49:58 | The well-meaning but plodding horror comedy Studio 666 is proof that the Foo Fighters probably should have stuck to music-driven clips. |
| 176529 | Anthony O'Connor | FILMINK (Australia) | Fresh | 14/20 | 2022-02-24T10:15:29Z | 2022-02-24 10:15:29 | ... a weird, self-indulgent and messy experiment. That said, the cast look like theyre having a really good time. And if youre in the mood for undemanding schlock? Maybe you will too. |
| 176530 | Tom Beasley | Film Stories | Rotten | 2/5 | 2022-02-24T10:11:36Z | 2022-02-24 10:11:36 | Those who dont know their Everlong from their Monkey Wrench may struggle to get behind this particular thrill ride. |
