I actually thought this was pretty good, even though I wasn't the biggest fan of the previous two installments. I like that they kept the premise simple this time, without shoehorning in some kind of wraparound segment. In some ways, it feels closer to the spirit of the first two movies. "Suicide Bid" probably had the best horror element, while "The Gawkers" felt the most 1999 out of all of them. (Can't help but relate to that age and how hard it is to get a glimpse at a naked woman.) The crème de la crème was "To Hell and Back," which I had been looking forward to ever since watching Deadstream (dir. Joseph Winter). I love how they managed to transform their limited budget into an effective looking version of hell. Lots of subtle little humor in it, too.
I honestly wonder how long they plan to keep this series going. I'm fearful the next entry will be called D/V/D.
