- 83ConsequenceLiz Shannon MillerConsequenceLiz Shannon MillerLoud, gory, sometimes silly, sometimes scary, and nearly always constant fun, Studio 666 is tailored to a pretty specific audience but has the potential to break outside of that niche, thanks to its commitment to old-school horror tropes with a hearty side of rock and roll.
- 71TheWrapWilliam BibbianiTheWrapWilliam BibbianiIt’s remarkable how far McConnell’s film can coast on little more than novelty power, star power, and Doritos, but there’s no denying that “Studio 666” hits a wall after about an hour, and spends the next 50 minutes stumbling around in a daze.
- 70Paste MagazineMatt DonatoPaste MagazineMatt DonatoGoofball rockstars created a silly, schlocky haunted thriller with their friends, and that’s the vibe Studio 666 brings. If you’re a Foo Fighters admirer looking for a horror-comedy, you define the demographic.
- 60IGNTom JorgensenIGNTom JorgensenStudio 666 features fun performances by the Foo Fighters, but its “kitchen sink” approach leaves it open to unfavorable comparisons to the movies to which it pays homage.
- It's plenty gory. And it definitely rocks. As for hilarious? It must've felt that way to Grohl, who liked the "Pearl Jam high-five" joke well enough to use it twice.
- 50The Associated PressJake CoyleThe Associated PressJake CoyleIt’s a goof, and there’s something to be said for watching Grohl and the gang having so much fun.
- 50Screen DailyTim GriersonScreen DailyTim GriersonGory rather than scary and goofy instead of very funny, this fitfully amusing horror-comedy will be embraced by fans of the popular band, who demonstrate that, while they’re adept musicians, they’re not similarly gifted at delivering killer punchlines.
- 37Washington PostMichael O'SullivanWashington PostMichael O'SullivanStudio 666 is either a delightful lark or a mystifying waste of time: Your pleasure will probably depend entirely on how you feel about Grohl.
- 20The GuardianPeter BradshawThe GuardianPeter BradshawThe estimable Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters has bafflingly decided to try everyone’s patience with this insufferable vanity project: a violent gonzo grossout that sadly conforms to the horror-comedy tendency of being neither properly scary nor properly funny.
