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

《古厝夜語》（英語：The Tale of Old House），又名《招魂》、《夜冷空樓》、《月冷空樓》，一度誤植「古厝夜雨」，是一部1979年的臺灣恐怖片，由姚鳳磐導演，石峰和王釧如主演。該片經常和同由王釧如主演的《舊鎖》（又名《殘燈幽靈三更天》）混淆，幾乎所有網路上的資料在介紹《殘》片的故事內容時，給出的卻是《古》片的劇情；而在介紹《古》片時，給出的又是《殘》片的劇情，例如豆瓣就是如此。另外，該片曾應新聞局邀請提名參加西班牙恐怖影展獲得最佳音效特別獎；男主角原本選定由谷名倫出演，因他在影片開拍之際墜樓身亡，所以改由石峰演出。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
