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

Shaolin vs. Evil Dead (Shao Lin jiang shi) is a 2004 Hong Kong martial arts vampire film starring Gordon Liu. The title of the film is a play on Liu's 1988 film Shaolin vs. Vampire as well as the American horror franchise Evil Dead, though there is no relationship to those films. The film also heavily references the style of Mr. Vampire, though it has a unique plot. The film ends abruptly, without resolution, because of a planned sequel, which is previewed in the end credits. The funding for the sequel was approved in 2005, and the second half of the film, Shaolin Vs. Dead: Ultimate Power was released the same year. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
