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.

How it feels

People make deals with the Devil by accepting the terms of an iPhone app without reading them. Each story in this Swedish horror anthology shows someone paying a price for a mundane wish.

What happens

Faust 2.0 is a Swedish horror anthology film produced by NjutaFilms. It's a modern spin on the story of Faust, the premise being that people accept the End-user license agreement of iPhone application without reading it through, allowing the Devil to easier trick people into selling their souls for mundane needs.
