How bad is it? It's like a concert film aimed at toddlers.
Should you see it? Yes, especially if you're old enough to remember the band KISS.
“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."

KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park
aka Attack of the Phantom
How bad is it? It's like a concert film aimed at toddlers.
Should you see it? Yes, especially if you're old enough to remember the band KISS.
In this film, a scientist who works at an amusement park (let that sink in for a while) decides to clone the band KISS, but creates a werewolf, Dracula and Frankenstein's monster. Meanwhile, teenagers get lost in the funhouse and the real band performs about a dozen songs while fighting off monsters. This was made for television, like an afterschool special. I imagine there was a meeting where someone said they need to reach young viewers, but didn't know what they were into and one guy said his son liked KISS, so they didn't wait for a second idea. The band was theatrical in nature, so they make for decent television and given that each member released a solo album that year, they obviously were looking for direction. This film, too, needed direction.
