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
Cathy's Curse (French: Une si gentille petite fille, lit. 'Such a sweet little girl', released in Quebec as Cauchemares, 'Nightmares') is a 1977 supernatural horror film co-written, produced and directed by Eddy Matalon and starring Alan Scarfe, Beverly Murray, and Randi Allen. The film follows a young girl who is possessed by the spirit of her deceased aunt. A co-production between Canada and France, it was shot on location in Westmount and Montreal, Quebec. Although the film was critically panned upon initial release, with many deriding it as being overly derivative of other supernatural horror films of the period including The Exorcist (1973), The Omen, and Carrie (both 1976), it has since become a cult classic, some calling the film "so bad it's good".
