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.
How it feels
This is a parody of slasher horror movies from the late 1970s and early 1980s. A killer targets high school students while a body count appears on screen after each death.

What happens
Student Bodies is a 1981 American parody slasher comedy film written and directed by Mickey Rose. A spoof of slasher horror films such as Halloween, Friday the 13th, and Prom Night, the film focuses on a serial killer targeting students at a high school. Student Bodies was the first film to satirize the thriving slasher film genre. A prominent feature of the film is a body count that is superimposed onscreen whenever a death occurs. Principal photography of Student Bodies took place in and around Houston, Texas, with a cast made up entirely of unknown actors. Paramount Pictures released the film theatrically on August 7, 1981. The film was a moderate box office success, grossing $5.2 million in the United States against its $510,000 budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
