Highly entertaining, gory fun splatter homage to 70s and 80s horror movies
28 April 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Dave Grohl, lead singer and head of the Foo Fighters and his band members Nate Mendel (bass), Pat Smear (guitar), Taylor Hawkins (drums), Rami Jaffee (keyboard) and Chris Shiflett (lead guitar) need a new album, but have no real motivation/inspiration. They need something special, a special location to write new songs and record the album. So their producer organizes for them a special location and the horror may begin ...

If you're a fan of the band and like gore, fun splatter, irony, references to iconic horror movies from the 70s and 80s (p.e. Evil dead, the exorcist, poltergeist), some sillyness, good effects, some inside jokes of the music industry, rock music, a well done camera work and light, great set design and production values, and want to watch a good, entertaining fun splatter horror movie about a hounted house, possession and demons, you're absolutely right here.

Also for fans: Director John Carpenter has a tiny role and composed with his son the opening score to this movie.

The story is nothing new and the movie doesn't take itself too serious, but it makes a lot of fun and is a really good watch.

Recommended.
