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
This Japanese horror film follows several people who encounter a house haunted by the ghosts of a murdered family. A jealous husband killed his wife and son there, and anyone who enters the house is stalked by their vengeful spirits. The story is told in short segments that show how each person's encounter with the curse ends.
