The premise

When wedding band keyboardist Emily discovers an old karaoke machine in the back of a dive bar, she thinks it will lead to a fun-filled night of singing and bonding with her band mates. Unfortunately, this karaoke machine seems to have a thirst for blood. When the singing begins, so does the bloodshed. When an excellent performance allows someone to be spared by the machine, the crew think they’ve figured out how to finally beat it. Proven almost immediately wrong, it takes more horrifying deaths and a visit from a mysterious stranger to realize they may have a chance at survival after all.

Horror Vault's take

A night out at a dive bar turns deadly when wedding band keyboardist Emily and her crewmates stumble upon a vintage karaoke machine with a murderous appetite. As the singing kicks off, so does the carnage — and the group scrambles to find any pattern or rule that might keep them alive long enough to see last call. Bad Karaoke blends sharp comedic energy with genuine stakes, wrapping its kills in the chaotic, neon-lit atmosphere of a bar you'd never want to close out. Think you know the rules? Think again.
