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

Scary Movie 5 (stylized as Scary MoVie) is a 2013 American parody film directed by Malcolm D. Lee and written by David Zucker and Pat Proft. It is the standalone sequel to Scary Movie 4 (2006) and the fifth installment in the Scary Movie film series. It is the second and last film in the series to be distributed by The Weinstein Company, as well as the only one not to involve Miramax Films. The film stars Ashley Tisdale, Simon Rex, Erica Ash, Katrina Bowden, Terry Crews, Heather Locklear, J. P. Manoux, Mac Miller, Jerry O'Connell, Molly Shannon, Snoop Dogg, Kate Walsh and Katt Williams. The film is the only installment of the franchise not to feature Cindy Campbell (played by Anna Faris) and Brenda Meeks (Regina Hall). Scary Movie 5 premiered on April 11, at the Hollywood's ArcLight Cinerama Dome, and was theatrically released by Dimension Films on April 12, 2013. The film was panned by critics and grossed $78 million, making it the worst-reviewed and lowest-grossing film in the Scary Movie series. A sixth film, titled Scary Movie, was released in June 2026, with the Wayans brothers, Faris, and Hall returning. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
