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 group of people gather in a spooky old mansion for a reading of a will. Secrets and hidden dangers emerge as they are trapped inside.

What happens
Im Schatten des Mörders ist ein spanischer Kriminalfilm von Jess Franco, dessen Handlung angeblich auf der Erzählung „The Cat and the Canary“ von Edgar Allan Poe basiert, die aber gar nicht existiert; tatsächlich handelt es sich dabei um ein Bühnenstück von John Willard.
