Should you see it? Yes.
“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."

The Killer Shrews (1959)
How bad is it? It has some of the silliest monster special effects.
Should you see it? Yes.
A scientist creates giant shrews, known for needing to eat almost continuously. They're played by dogs with added hair and long fangs. The climactic scene, where the heroes escape by walking in a crouch, while in a flotilla of turned over barrels, is worth the wait. The film moves along briskly, with laughs scattered evenly throughout and every time you see the "shrews," you'll laugh again. Ken Curtis (of Gunsmoke") produced and has a role and Ingrid Goude, Miss Universe 1957, proves herself an able actress.
Should you see it? Yes.
