Should you see it? I kept nodding off, but it might be worth seeing if you can follow the plot.
“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."

Nightmare Weekend (1986)
How bad is it? It went straight to video, released by Troma and is a mess.

Let's see if I can describe this without looking up the plot somewhere... A scientist tries to create slaves through a computer that includes a clown hand puppet. His assistant performs experiments on teenage girls and their dates, turning them into zombies. There's at least three completely gratuitous nude scenes. Then the mother of one of the three girls saves them. I think this got released only because one of the girls was on "NYPD Blue," so they tried to capitalize on that. The film has some minor variations on the standard theme - it's nice that the villain is a woman for once - and has its weird points (that puppet!), but you still can't help but feel you've seen this before.
