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
In 19th century Japan, a blind masseur seeks a cure for his failing eyesight but instead provokes the ghost of a wronged woman. Her spirit returns to exact revenge on those who wronged her.

What happens
Kaidan Kasane-ga-fuchi (Japanese: 怪談累が渕, Hepburn: Kaidan Kasane-ga-fuchi; lit. Ghost Story of Kasane Swamp), also known as The Depths or The Ghost of Kasane, is a 1957 black-and-white/Scope Japanese horror film directed by Nobuo Nakagawa for Shintoho Films. The screenplay was based on a story called Shinkei Kasanegafuchi by Encho Sanyutei. The film was never dubbed in English and is only available in subtitled format. It was a short film, running 57 minutes. Daiei Film remade this film twice, once in 1960 (B&W/full screen) as Kaidan Kasane-ga-fuchi, and again in 1970 (Color/Scope) as The Masseur's Curse (both directed by Kimiyoshi Yasuda). The 1960 version was never shown in the United States, nor was it dubbed in English. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
