How bad is it? It's slightly lurid trash.
Should you see it? If you have nothing better to do.
This is a film where Raymond Burr thinks he might be turning into a beast. He kills someone and gets cursed and his love of the jungle (potted plants) makes him more animalistic as the film progresses. Lon Chaney shows up long enough to get a paycheck.
It's a melodrama disguised as a horror film and it's a fair melodrama. It also is the only American film with Giselle Werbisek, whose real name was apparently Gisela Werbiserk-Piffl, a truly great name.
