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
All You Need Is Death is a 2023 Irish horror film, written and directed by Paul Duane in his dramatic feature debut. It concerns a pair of ethnomusicologists who unethically record a recital of an ancient song, thereby inciting the negative attentions of supernatural forces. It was made on a shoestring budget initially entirely funded by the director, and featured largely unknown actors with the exceptions of Olwen Fouéré and Gary Whelan. All You Need Is Death was released in a series of film festivals beginning in October 2023, and had its general release in the United States, Ireland and the United Kingdom the following April before being made available on streaming services Shudder and Prime Video. The soundtrack, composed by Ian Lynch of Irish doom folk rock act Lankum, was met with acclaim. The film was generally well-received, with critics praising its premise and opening act, as well as Fouéré's performance, although some found the film less coherent as it progressed.
