The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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.

What happens

Curse of the Fly is a 1965 British horror science-fiction film directed by Don Sharp and starring Brian Donlevy, Carole Gray and George Baker. It was written by Harry Spalding and was the sequel to Return of the Fly (1959), as the third installment in The Fly film series. Unlike the other films in the series it was produced in the United Kingdom. Curse of the Fly was rarely seen for many years, as it was the only entry in the Fly film trilogy that did not receive a videotape, laserdisc or online release. Outside of an abridged Super 8mm version released to the home movie market in the mid-1970s, it did not receive its home video premiere until 2007, when it was released in a boxed set with the original series of films.
