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

A woman becomes possessed again while watching a televangelist show. Parodying The Exorcist, the film uses slapstick and satire to make fun of the original movie and real life religious scandals.

What happens

Repossessed is a 1990 American comedy horror film written and directed by Bob Logan, and starring Linda Blair, Leslie Nielsen, Ned Beatty and Anthony Starke. A parody of The Exorcist (1973), in which Blair had previously starred, the film follows Nancy Aglet, a woman who becomes possessed for the second time in her life while viewing a prosperity gospel television program. The film features numerous gags based on The Exorcist, such as the green-vomit and head-spinning scenes, and real-life events such as the televangelist scandals of the 1980s.
