Should you see it? Not really.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

Curse of the Blue Lights (1988)
How bad is it? In some ways, it's competent, in others, it's wretched.
Should you see it? Not really.
Most of the films I cover here look terrible and cheap. This one looks like it had a budget, or at least made good use of what little money they had. Teens get abducted to an underground lair of ghouls who need sacrifices to awaken a demon; they spend the film trying to escape. The ghouls makeup isn't terrible, but hits that uncanny cross between silly and ugly; the demon is actually done fairly well. The lighting and sound are okay. The acting is sub-par and the plot sounds like it should work. Unfortunately, the film doesn't work - you can't get this dull without bad direction, which sinks it.
