Don't Go Near the Park (1979)

How bad is it? It's truly one of the worst horror films ever made.
Should you see it? Maybe, in the you-have-to-see-it-to-believe-it vein.

Two people are cast out of their tribe for cannibalism and cursed to continue killing and eating teenage virgins so as to regain their youth. 12000 years later, they're in a park in California, where they encounter scream queen Linnea Quigley, Aldo Ray and eventually breed young Tammy Taylor (whose career actually went somewhere after this got forgotten). The reason this video nasty gets put in the so-bad-its-good pile is because - for no reason, mind you, and with no explanation - people shoot laser beams out of their eyes. There's also terrible make-up effects, obviously fake boulders, fabric store cast-off clothing, actors who speak over each others' lines, bad music, bad editing, bad direction and bad gore effects.
