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.

How it feels

In a small Mexican town, a police chief investigates the murder of an elderly Yaqui shaman. Locals believe the shaman's spirit will return as a demonic nahual to seek revenge, and more brutal killings follow.

What happens

Cazador de demonios es una película slasher mexicana de 1983, dirigida y escrita por Gilberto de Anda. Municipio de Creel, Chihuahua, México. Aguilar, el jefe de policía, investiga el asesinato de un anciano brujo de la tribu amerindia de los Yaqui. En el pueblo se rumorea que el espíritu del anciano regresará de ultratumba para vengar su muerte transformado en un nahual, un ser demoníaco del folklore indio. Durante la primera luna llena tras el crimen del brujo indio, aparece despedazado el cadáver del principal sospechoso del asesinato, lo que aumenta la inquietud de los supersticiosos. Aguilar se reúne con José Luis, médico del pueblo, y el padre Martín, sacerdote del lugar, quien buscará en viejos libros de ocultismo un ritual que les ayude a combatir al abominable ser. Un día después, una familia completa aparece asesinada. El presidente del municipio exige a Aguilar que encuentre al responsable o renuncie a su puesto. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
