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
A writer takes a bet that he can finish a novel in 24 hours in a remote Welsh mansion. He finds the house is already occupied by a series of mysterious strangers, and the night takes a darkly humorous turn.

What happens
House of the Long Shadows is a 1983 British horror film directed by Pete Walker. It is notable for featuring four iconic horror film stars (Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and John Carradine) together for the first and only time. The screenplay by Michael Armstrong is based on the 1913 novel Seven Keys to Baldpate by Earl Derr Biggers, which was also adapted into a famous play that gave birth in turn to several films.
