The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Cannibal Ferox (also known as Make Them Die Slowly in the US and as Woman from Deep River in Australia) is a 1981 Italian cannibal horror film written and directed by Umberto Lenzi, and starring Giovanni Lombardo Radice, Lorraine De Selle, Danilo Mattei, Zora Kerova and Robert Kerman. Upon release, the film's US distributor claimed it was "the most violent film ever made". Cannibal Ferox was also dubiously claimed to be "banned in 31 countries". The title derives from the Latin ferox, meaning cruel, wild or ferocious. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
