Kevin Harley

Rock band Foo Fighters suffer a clumsy transition to film in director BJ McDonnell's comic homage to low-budget horror movies. Playing themselves, the stadium-fillers elect to record their 10th album in an LA mansion, where an evil spirit takes possession of singer Dave Grohl. Compelled to make music to raise Hell, Grohl starts messily slaughtering anyone in his way. Despite the odd inventive kill - mind that barbecue! - Grohl's murderous rampages soon run to excess, losing all shock value as a result. Deadpan cameos from Lionel Richie and Whitney Cummings aside, the humour falls equally flat as the otherwise game Foos struggle to draw laughs from the script's creaking one-liners. Even if the affable Grohl's transformation into a snarling egomaniac frontman is a half-decent gag, the joke gets stretched thin as the film drags on. Too loosely strung to be scary or funny, Studio 666 makes rock 'n' roll horror hokum seem like hard work.
