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 family moves into a mansion haunted by a ghost cat. The story jumps between present day and past events to show how the curse began.

What happens
Black Cat Mansion (Japanese: 亡霊怪猫屋敷, Hepburn: Bōrei kaibyō yashiki; lit. Mansion of the Ghost Cat) is a 1958 Japanese supernatural horror film directed by Nobuo Nakagawa for Shintoho. The film is presented in a nonlinear narrative, taking place in the characters' present and past (which are filmed in blue-tinted black-and-white), and in the distant past (filmed in color). It is one of several Japanese "ghost cat" films (kaibyō eiga), featuring a cat-like supernatural entity. Black Cat Mansion was released in Japan in 1958. It was not dubbed in English, nor was it shown theatrically in the United States. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
