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 in Northern California is paralyzed by a mysterious force that knocks everyone unconscious. The women of the town later give birth to strange pale children with glowing eyes who share a powerful collective mind. A group of scientists tries to understand and stop the children as their control over the town grows.

What happens
Village of the Damned is a 1995 American science fiction horror film directed by John Carpenter, written by David Himmelstein, and starring Christopher Reeve, Kirstie Alley, Linda Kozlowski, and Michael Paré. It is based on the 1957 novel The Midwich Cuckoos by John Wyndham. The 1995 version is set in Northern California, whereas the book and original film are both set in England. The 1995 film was marketed with the tagline, "Beware the Children". The film received negative reviews from critics and failed at the box office upon release. This was Reeve's last theatrically released film before he was paralyzed in an equestrian accident in May 1995. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
