Legendary rock band Foo Fighters move into an Encino mansion steeped in grisly rock and roll 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 is a vanity horror-comedy built around the Foo Fighters playing exaggerated versions of themselves in a haunted mansion. The premise is fun and the band commits gamely to the goofiness, but the plot is thin and predictable — a standard demonic-possession arc dressed up with rock iconography. Acting is charming but amateurish in ways that don't always read as intentional camp. Cinematography is competent and occasionally stylish, leaning into genre tropes effectively enough. Novelty gets a bump for the sheer oddness of a major band making a genuine splatter horror-comedy around themselves — it's a specific, silly thing that hasn't really been done at this scale. The ending devolves into messy, underdeveloped carnage that doesn't quite stick the landing.
