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 Murder Game is an American horror film starring Julia Pickens, Steve Polites, Katie Sirk and Samuel Klein. It was directed by Robert Harari. The film is distributed by Warner Bros. and Lightyear Entertainment. Murder scenes were well accomplished and shocking from a gore perspective. A few dialogs made explicit references to several cliches of the indie horror genre in a humoristic way, but the script/plot actually provided some surprising twists. Extras include behind-the-scenes pictures that help lighten the mood after the violence of the film itself. Further behind-the-scenes details were then provided in The Murder Game: 10 Years Later (2015). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
