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

Meatcleaver Massacre is a 1977 American slasher film directed by Keith Burns and Ed Wood, credited to the pseudonymous Evan Lee. It follows a college professor who, after several of his disgruntled students murder his family and leave him permanently disabled, invokes a Gaelic demon to enact revenge. The film was originally released as Hollywood Meatcleaver Massacre in 1977. It was re-released under the shorter Meatcleaver Massacre title in an alternate version that features a bookending prologue and epilogue narrated by Christopher Lee. The footage featuring Lee was actually shot for a different project that never came to fruition, and was purchased by the producers of Hollywood Meatcleaver Massacre, who grafted it onto the film and re-released it.
