The first two stories are mildly entertaining at best, and just barely even worth being classified as "horror". The third was more like exceptionally watered down science fiction than anything else, and never even borders on being "horror". That said, all of the first three stories might be worth a four, by themselves, if only because they are at least somewhat interesting, if predictable. Christopher Crowe, based purely on this film, is a marginally decent, though not exceptional writer.
Then we get to the forth and we go from unoffensive, bland, and boring to plain out tragic and inexcusably awful. The change in writers from the first three "chapters" to the forth is obvious, and they did NOT save the best for last. The set up is there for a predictable revenge story, but it never comes to fruition and I'm left presuming that Jeffery Bloom's friends, family and co-workers told him that he could write because they cared more about his feelings than his potential career.
