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 young woman goes to visit the mother of her deceased fiancé and is taken captive by the unstable older woman. The mother, who is deeply religious and obsessed with her son's memory, tries to force the woman into a twisted form of atonement.

What happens
Fanatic (released in the United States as Die! Die! My Darling!) is a 1965 British horror thriller film directed by Silvio Narizzano in his feature directorial debut, written by Richard Matheson, and produced by Anthony Hinds for Hammer Film Productions. It stars Tallulah Bankhead (in her final feature film), Stefanie Powers, Peter Vaughan, Yootha Joyce, Maurice Kaufmann and Donald Sutherland. Based on the 1961 novel Nightmare by Anne Blaisdell (pen name of Elizabeth Linington), the film is about a woman who is kidnapped by the deranged mother of her late fiancé. Fanatic is often characterized as part of the "psycho-biddy" subgenre. The film was released in the United Kingdom by Columbia Pictures on 21 March 1965. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
