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
Death Ship is a 1980 horror film directed by Alvin Rakoff and starring Richard Crenna, George Kennedy, Nick Mancuso, Sally Ann Howes, Kate Reid, Victoria Burgoyne, and Saul Rubinek in an early role. The screenplay by John Robins was based on a story by co-written by Jack Hill. A British-Canadian co-production, the film was shot on-location off of Dauphin Island, Alabama and in Quebec City. It was director Rakoff's only horror film, and upon release received mixed-to-negative reviews, but has developed a cult following. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
