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

Curfew is a 1989 American horror film directed by Gary Winick, in his directorial debut, and starring Kyle Richards, Wendell Wellman, John Putch, Christopher Knight, and Frank A. Miller. Its plot follows two demented brothers who, after escaping from prison, invade the home of the district attorney who sentenced them to death, terrorizing him, his wife, and their teenage daughter. Curfew, as well as Winick's second film Out of the Rain (1991), were described by Keith Bailey of Unknown Movies as "little-seen thrillers, the former so violent that it suffered censorship and certification problems" in the United Kingdom. The film was rejected for video by the British Board of Film Classification in 1988. It was finally released fully uncut in 2002. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
