Should you see it? Yes. It's truly so bad it's good.
“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 Meateater (1979)
How bad is it? It's incredibly bad.
Should you see it? Yes. It's truly so bad it's good.
This went unnoticed until Elvira's Mystery Macabre showed it and it's still hard to find. A family buys a movie theater that has a Jean Harlow-obsessed killer hiding inside it. Of course, the family has a daughter that looks like Harlow (though only in the mind of the killer, named Milford). The guy eats a rat at the beginning of the film, but doesn't eat any meat later; everyone else does though - there's hilarious pointless references to Oscar Mayer hot dogs (including the jingle) and Jimmy Dean sausages. The police investigate and they're amazingly bad. One cop is named Wombat (!), typical of the laughable nature of the whole film. The film looks like it was written and shot in a few days, all in one location, with amateur actors.
Should you see it? Yes. It's truly so bad it's good.
