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
Criminally Insane, (also known as Crazy Fat Ethel), is a 1975 horror film written and directed by Nick Millard. Shot on location in San Francisco, it was followed by a 1987 sequel titled Criminally Insane 2. A remake, Crazy Fat Ethel, was released in 2016. In the film, a morbidly obese mental patient is released into the custody of her grandmother, despite a past history of violence. The grandmother tries to prevent the patient's gorging behavior by locking the cupboard, but she ends up killed by her own granddaughter, who goes on to kill further victims and hide the corpses in the grandmother's house. Her efforts to dispose of the bodies backfire and alert a neighbor. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
