'STUDIO 666'
Rated R for strong bloody violence and gore, pervasive language and sexual content.
What it’s about: The Foo Fighters hole up in a haunted Encino mansion to record a new album, though they don't realize the home is filled with the murderous spirit of a '90s rock band that perished there.
The kid attractor factor: Younger folks who are fans of the band might be interested in this horror comedy.
Good lessons/bad lessons: Don't go in the basement!
Violence: Some extreme gory violence and all manner of creative killings.
Language: Swearing and strong language throughout.
Sex: References to sex and one sex scene (no nudity).
Drugs: None
Parents’ advisory: Extremely violent, gory, and often crass. Though the humor is immature, this one is for mature teens only.
