How bad is it? Except for special effects, it's a complete waste.
Should you see it? It does work as a monster movie and as camp, so a very mild "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."

Metamorphosis (1990)
aka Metamorphosis: The Alien Factor

Supposedly a sequel to "The Deadly Spawn," to which it bears no recognizable connection, this film has a researcher infected by alien DNA and becoming a bloodthirsty monster. The budget was very low, but the special effects per dollar may be about as good as can be done. Unfortunately, it still means that you see people helping themselves into the monster's mouth, spewing stupid lines of dialogue and acting like the stereotypes they're supposed to be. It's a 1950's monster-on-the-loose movie, updated to 1990.
