Shortlisted for The Worst Film Ever Made
2 October 2018
I would put this film on the shortlist for the worst film ever made. "Halloween 6" provides credible, objective evidence for the camp of critics who argue against continuing horror series with unnecessary longevity. In another world, where this same movie is presented without the name of "Halloween" attached to it, nor the iconic serial killer Michael Myers, one would describe this is a straight-to-VHS fodder.

"Halloween 6" is a film of ridiculously appalling caliber, suspending the reality that was used as the glue holding these same characters together in the other, better movies. The slasher formula is replaced with witchcraft rituals and a supernatural spin on medical practices, made worse by perniciously stylized directing and a reprehensible musical score. I wouldn't dignify the film as a viewing option for even the most vigilant fans of Michael Myers to sit through. Paul Rudd is often noticed as a reason to see the film. Don't buy it, he's performs just as horridly as everyone and everything else involved in the project.

The most unforgivable aspect of "Halloween 6" is the strange direction the filmmakers chose when settling the Jamie Lloyd's storyline, after two relatively strong outings for her character in "Halloween 4" and "Halloween 5." Perhaps, in order to get the superb "Halloween H20," we had to suffer "Halloween 6," as the worst before the best.
