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
Blood Monkey is a 2007 American direct-to-video natural horror film produced by RHI Entertainment and directed by Robert Young. It aired on various video on demand channels, before officially premiering in the United States on the Syfy Channel (called Sci-Fi channel at the time it premiered) on January 27, 2008. Filmed in Thailand, it is the first film in the Maneater film series produced under an agreement with Syfy. The film followed a group of six students studying primates in Asia under the demented Professor Hamilton who find themselves under attack from bloodthirsty primates in the jungle. Reviewers panned the film, criticizing the acting, dialogue, plot, low-quality special effects, and the lack of appearances by the titular monster, the monkeys. They also questioned the appearance of F. Murray Abraham in the film, though note that his performance was its only positive aspect. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
