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

La Force du mal (Notturno con grida) est un film d'épouvante italien coréalisé et coscénarisé par Ernesto Gastaldi et Vittorio Salerno et sorti en 1981 directement en vidéo. C'est une sorte de suite infidèle à Libido (1965), également coréalisé par le duo Gastaldi et Salerno. Il contient des scènes du premier film, utilisées comme flash-back. Le film reprend les thèmes de l'exorcisme, du monde démoniaque, et des figures de la tradition judéo-christiano-gnostique tels que Satan, Abaddon, Apollyon, des allusions au rituel du De exorcismis et supplicationibus quibusdam (DESQ) adopté par le pape Léon XIII.
