That’s followed by “Crouch End,” with Claire Forlani and Eion Bailey as newlyweds who venture into a creepy hamlet outside London that apparently resides at the portal to another dimension. In a commercial-free hour shot dialogue-free, William Hurt stars as a hitman who rubs out a toy impresario, only to have a collection of green army men (“Small Soldiers,” as it were) seek to return the favor. The opening, meanwhile, is visually clever but not particularly engaging.

Macy playing a pulp-fiction detective as well as the gumshoe’s emotionally damaged real-life creator and “The End of the Whole Mess,” a chilling sci-fi premise directed by Salomon about good intentions gone awry, starring Ron Livingston. The two best hours come during the second week: Bowman’s “Umney’s Last Case,” featuring William H. With six directors involved (Mikael Salomon, who adapted “Salem’s Lot” for TNT, and “The X-Files” helmer Rob Bowman each take on a pair), the tone of the various tales proves highly uneven, and the quality certainly doesn’t measure up to “Zone” standards, hewing more closely to EC Comics adaptations like “Tales From the Crypt.”
