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.

What happens

Ritual is a 2002 American horror film directed by Avi Nesher. A remake of the 1943 film I Walked With a Zombie, it stars Tim Curry, Jennifer Grey, and Craig Sheffer. It was released in select countries in 2002, the Philippines in 2003, and released direct-to-DVD in the United States in 2006. Subsequent home video releases added a newly filmed intro featuring the Crypt Keeper from Tales from the Crypt, though it was not produced as a Tales from the Crypt film. The film is set in Jamaica, and follows an American doctor who takes a job at the estate of a pair of local brothers, where a mysterious illness appears to consume the residents.
