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 doctor transforms into a handsome but evil alter ego, leading to deception and tragedy. Based on the classic story, this British horror film focuses on the dual nature of its main character.

What happens
The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll (released in the US as House of Fright) is a 1960 British horror film directed by Terence Fisher and starring Paul Massie, Dawn Addams, Christopher Lee and David Kossoff. It was produced by Michael Carreras and Anthony Nelson-Keys for Hammer Film Productions. It is based on Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 novella Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, and was the first Hammer film to be distributed in the US by AIP. The film was released in the UK by Columbia Pictures on 24 October 1960, and in the US by American International Pictures on 3 May 1961 under the title House of Fright. It fared poorly in the US, and AIP's next interaction with Hammer was not until 1970, with The Vampire Lovers . (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
