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 18th century Spain, a servant girl gives birth to a son after being assaulted by a beggar who is actually a werewolf. The boy grows up struggling against a violent curse that emerges under the full moon.

What happens
The Curse of the Werewolf is a 1961 British horror film directed by Terence Fisher and starring Clifford Evans, Oliver Reed and Yvonne Romain. It was written and produced by Anthony Hinds for Hammer Film Productions, and based on the novel The Werewolf of Paris (1933) by Guy Endore. The leading part of the werewolf was Oliver Reed's first starring role in a film. Composer Benjamin Frankel's score is notable for its use of twelve-tone serialism, rare in film music. It was the first werewolf film to be shot in Technicolor. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
