The Take
No, Halloween 6 is not worth watching. Multiple cuts and reshoots left the plot in shambles while a cult ritual subplot dragged the slasher formula off a cliff.
Michael still stalks with practical menace and a few kills land, yet sequelitis buries everything under exposition and ancestor nonsense.
The Verdict
The reshoots and competing cuts created plot holes big enough to drive the Shape through. A forced cult angle replaced simple dread with ancestor complaints and exposition dumps.
Skip it. Watch 'Halloween' (1978) instead — the original still cuts deepest.
