Foo Fighters decide to record their 10^th album in an Encino mansion with a grisly past. Needless to say, the evil spirits emerge with gruesome results. This is supposed to be a comedy with tongue-in-cheek characterizations and over-the-top gore. The humor seldom lands, although the bloody murders are enjoyable for the creative ways they’re staged. This is certainly band founder Dave Grohl’s showcase, but all of the band’s members do OK with their acting duties. Most of the satirical jabs at the band and the genre are overly obvious and seldom clever. Fans might enjoy spending extended time with the musicians, but anyone else will find it just dumb.
