Should you see it? Sure. It's actually rather atmospheric.
“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 Manster (1962)
How bad is it? It has some very bad special effects.
Should you see it? Sure. It's actually rather atmospheric.
A joint US/Japan production, this looks better than most horror films from Japan in the 1950's that got edited for American release. A reporter, given an injection by a mad doctor, starts growing an eye, then a head, on his shoulder. Eventually, he splits into a man and an ape man and the man throws the ape man into a volcano (which is more conveniently located than most). The monster is laughable, but the film has a creepy feel.
