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

Too Scared to Scream (also known as The Doorman) is a 1984 American independent slasher film directed by Tony Lo Bianco. It stars Mike Connors (who also served as producer on the film), Anne Archer and Ian McShane, with a supporting cast of John Heard, Maureen O'Sullivan and Murray Hamilton. Too Scared to Scream was originally shot in 1981 and intended for a 1982 release, but was shelved due to the production company going out of business; it later premiered in 1984 and received a theatrical release in 1985.
