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 Hills Have Eyes is a 2006 American horror film directed by Alexandre Aja and co-written by Aja and Grégory Levasseur, in their English-language debut. It is a remake of Wes Craven's 1977 film of the same name. The film stars Aaron Stanford, Kathleen Quinlan, Vinessa Shaw, Emilie de Ravin, Dan Byrd, Robert Joy, and Ted Levine, and follows a family that is targeted by a group of cannibalistic mutants after their car breaks down in the desert. The Hills Have Eyes was released theatrically in the United States and United Kingdom on March 10, 2006. It earned $15.5 million in its opening weekend in the United States, where it was originally rated NC-17 for strong, gruesome violence, but was later edited down to achieve an R rating. An unrated DVD version was released on June 20, 2006. A sequel, The Hills Have Eyes 2, was released in 2007. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
