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.

Horror Stories 2 (Korean: 무서운 이야기 2) is a 2013 horror omnibus film made up of four episodes by four South Korean directors. It screened at the Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival and Sitges Film Festival in 2013, and won the Silver Raven prize in the International Competition at the 2014 Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival. Min Kyu-dong's 444 is set against the backdrop of the warehouse of an insurance company where a woman with the ability to communicate with the dead delves into fraudulent insurance claim cases. Kim Sung-ho's The Cliff focuses on two friends who go hiking in the woods then get trapped at the edge of a cliff. Kim Hwi's The Accident centers on three depressed girls who go on a road trip after they fail the teacher's certification exam, but a car crash turns their trip into a nightmare. Jung Bum-shik's The Escape is about a male trainee teacher who gets locked in the doorway to hell. It is a sequel of horror and scary tale trilogy Horror Stories, a film with a similar format which was released in 2012. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
