Mark Kermode Reviews Dave Grohl’s Studio 666 For The BBC

That Difficult Tenth Album

Studio 666 is a horror film from Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl and here’s Mark Kermode’s review of it for the BBC…

Directed by BJ McDonnell, Studio 666 stars Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett & Rami Jaffee and the cast also includes Whitney Cummings, Leslie Grossman, Will Forte, Jenna Ortega and Jeff Garlin…

“Yep…we actually went and made a big, loud, bloody horror movie. Because…why the hell not?” said Dave Grohl.  “After keeping Studio 666 our dirty little secret for years, we’re so fucking excited to bring it to you guys for a full-on theatrical release. This thing was MEANT for the big screen. We hope you have as much fun watching it as we did making it.”

Director BJ McDonnell said: “STUDIO 666 is a perfect combination of all things I love. Rock, horror and comedy all tied together in a very thrilling motion picture. I am so excited to have teamed up with the Foo Fighters to create an old school “Band” movie. It’s been years since we’ve seen something like the Beatles “Help!”, The Monkees “Head”, or “KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park”. Take that 60’s / 70’s old school band film fun, mix it with horror and STUDIO 666 is born! I am so ecstatic for audiences of film and music to come together and enjoy our film.”
