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 scholar investigates a strange cult and a terrifying monster that has been worshipped for centuries. He pieces together clues from old documents and a sailor's diary to uncover a cosmic threat.

What happens
The Call of Cthulhu is a 2005 independent silent horror film adaptation of H. P. Lovecraft's short story of the same name, produced by Sean Branney and Andrew Leman and distributed by the H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society. It is the first film adaptation of the famous Lovecraft story, and uses Mythoscope, a blend of vintage and modern filming techniques intended to produce the look of a 1920s-era film. The film is the length of a featurette. The original story had long been considered unfilmable, but the concept of making it a silent film and the enthusiasm that the creators had for their project earned it good reviews and several awards.
