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

The Amityville Horror is a 2005 American supernatural horror film directed by Andrew Douglas, and starring Ryan Reynolds, Melissa George, and Philip Baker Hall. It also featured the debut of actress Chloƫ Grace Moretz. Written by Scott Kosar, it is based on the novel The Amityville Horror by Jay Anson and serves as a remake of the 1979 film of the same name, as well as the ninth film in the Amityville Horror film series. The film was released in the United States on April 15, 2005, by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Dimension Films. Despite negative reviews from critics, with many calling it derivative to the original film and saying it did not deliver anything new, the film was a commercial success, grossing $107.5 million on a $19 million budget.
