Mistress of the Apes (1979)

How bad is it? It's like "Bride of the Gorilla," but directed by Larry Buchanan - so it's pretty bad.
Should you see it? Don't make it a priority.

A woman searches for her lost husband in the jungles of Africa, only to encounter a group of "near men" who've just lost their last female member. They have long hair, loincloths and some bad ugly make-up. She studies them and decides that she prefers them to the men back home. It's amazingly well-photographed for a Buchanan film, but there's not much plot or characterization (or anything else) and the make-up effects are maybe good for one chuckle.
