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
Death Line (also known as Deathline; U.S. title Raw Meat) is a 1972 horror film directed by Gary Sherman in his directorial debut, and starring Donald Pleasence, Norman Rossington, David Ladd, Sharon Gurney, Hugh Armstrong, and Christopher Lee. Its plot follows a university student and her boyfriend who, after witnessing a man disappear in the London Underground, become embroiled in an investigation into subsequent related disappearances. It is credited as one of the earliest examples of a cannibal film, released only months after Man from Deep River and nearly a decade before Cannibal Holocaust (1980). An international co-production between the United States and United Kingdom, Death Line was filmed on location in London. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
