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 woman starts to doubt her own sanity after her husband slowly manipulates her by making subtle changes to their home and then denying them. A police detective becomes suspicious of the husband's intentions.

What happens
Gaslight (released in the United States as Angel Street) is a 1940 British psychological thriller directed by Thorold Dickinson starring Anton Walbrook, Diana Wynyard and Frank Pettingell. It was written by A. R. Rawlinson and Bridget Boland. The film adheres more closely to the original play upon which it is based – Patrick Hamilton's Gas Light (1938) – than does the 1944 MGM remake.
