Should you see it? No.
“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."

Just for the Hell of It (1968)
How bad is it? It's extremely violent, but the violence is dull.
Should you see it? No.
I'm including this because it was impossible to see for decades and thus gets sought out by Herschel Gordon Lewis completists. It's one of his few films that aren't strictly horror; it's a juvenile delinquency film, which is a decade late for that trend. Three guys and a girl terrorize a Florida town, "just for the hell of it." They smash a party, they tear a restaurant apart, they fight a baseball team, they beat up girls and they force people to take drugs. None of it's interesting or well done, we don't care about the characters and it doesn't have much of a plot.
Should you see it? No.
