All three previous films were more heavily based on adventure serials of the pre-war period. This is disputed by some of the film's detractors who argue that it's just the same adventure serial formula from the first three films, except with a vague sci-fi element in it.

* ''Film/TheRental'' starts off as a standard drama about two couples slowly falling apart after they rent a house together for a weekend, gradually becomes a thriller as it becomes clear that someone is watching them and as Charlie and Mina scramble to hide any evidence of their infidelity from their respective partners, and then takes a sharp nosedive into a slasher movie after a mysterious masked killer starts picking them off one by one. So abrupt is its shift into horror (along with the very obvious set-up for a sequel) that many critics noted that the film felt more like a prequel to a non-existent horror movie rather than a standalone film.

* ''Film/TheRoom'': The film seems to go through an unintentional one, contributing to its general weirdness. There are so many gratuitous sex scenes in the first half (set to cheesy synthesized pop music, natch) that the film could easily be mistaken for a soft-core porn; even the whole infidelity plot initially just comes off as an excuse to make Lisa have sex with two different men. But around the 45-minute mark, the sex starts to fade away, while the story just gets more ridiculously complex, becoming a straight romantic melodrama.
