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 small town is taken over by a group of scientists who use its elderly residents for strange experiments. A young couple passing through must fight to survive.

What happens
Evil Town is a 1987 American horror film produced by William D. Sklar and Peter S. Traynor, and starring James Keach, Dean Jagger, Robert Walker, Michele Marsh and Lynda Wiesmeier. It is notable for its lengthy and troubled production, which began in 1973 and lasted until 1985, under four different directors: Curtis Hanson (credited as 'Edward Collins'), Mardi Rustam, Larry Spiegel and Traynor. Producer Peter S. Traynor was convicted of fraud related to the film's financing in 1981, six years before its eventual release. This was also the final film for Dean Jagger.
