The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A group of people venture into the jungles of Central America. They find themselves in dangerous situations involving wild animals and a madman. The story plays out like an old horror adventure.

What happens
Stark Mad is a 1929 American sound (All-Talking) pre-Code adventure film produced and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, directed by Lloyd Bacon, and starring H. B. Warner, Louise Fazenda, Jacqueline Logan and Henry B. Walthall. This lurid jungle melodrama was an attempt to emulate the then-popular jungle horror films being made at the time by Tod Browning and Lon Chaney. The film was unusual in that it is set in the jungles of Central America rather than Africa. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
