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

What happens
Calamity of Snakes (人蛇大战; Ren she da zhan) is a 1982 horror film directed by Chi Chang (also known as William Cheung Kei). An international co-production of Taiwan and Hong Kong, the film concerns the residents of a newly built apartment building being attacked by thousands of vengeful snakes, which seek retribution for the killing and displacement of multitudes of snakes at the site of the building's construction. Rather than utilizing special effects to depict violence against snakes, Calamity of Snakes features genuine footage of snakes being mutilated and killed, including being burned alive.
