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
Dark Water is a 2002 Japanese supernatural horror film directed by Hideo Nakata and written by Yoshihiro Nakamura and Kenichi Suzuki. An adaptation of the 1996 short story "Floating Water" by Koji Suzuki, it follows a divorced mother (Hitomi Kuroki) who moves into a rundown apartment with her six-year-old daughter (Rio Kanno) and experiences supernatural occurrences linked to a constant leak of water from the apartment above. The film received positive reviews and grossed $1.4 million at the box office. An American remake, directed by Walter Salles and starring Jennifer Connelly and Tim Roth, was released in 2005.
