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 Hole is a 2009 American 3D dark fantasy horror film directed by Joe Dante and starring Chris Massoglia, Haley Bennett, Nathan Gamble, Bruce Dern, and Teri Polo. The film follows two brothers who move into their new house with their single mother. The brothers discover a trap door in the basement and accidentally unleash a supernatural force that manifests itself into any fear of the person who looks into the hole. Critical reception was largely positive, but the film was a financial disappointment. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
