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
Don't Breathe is a 2016 American horror film co-produced and directed by Fede Álvarez, who co-wrote it with Rodo Sayagues. It is the first installment in the Don't Breathe franchise. The film stars Jane Levy, Dylan Minnette, Daniel Zovatto, and Stephen Lang, and focuses on three home intruders who find themselves trapped and hunted in the home of their blind target. The project, originally titled A Man in the Dark, was announced in early 2014, with Álvarez directing, Sayagues writing, and Levy starring. In contrast to his previous work on Evil Dead (2013), which Levy also starred in, Álvarez decided the project would have less blood, an original storyline, more suspense, and no dependence on supernatural elements—which he felt were overused. Principal photography began in June 2015, and wrapped in July in Detroit. Don't Breathe premiered at South by Southwest on March 12, 2016, and was theatrically released on August 26, by Sony Pictures Releasing. The film grossed over $157 million worldwide and received positive reviews from critics. A sequel, Don't Breathe 2, was released in August 2021. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
