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

The Strangers: Prey at Night is a 2018 slasher film directed by Johannes Roberts, and written by Bryan Bertino and Ben Ketai. It is the sequel to The Strangers (2008) and the second installment of The Strangers film series. The film stars Christina Hendricks, Martin Henderson, Bailee Madison, and Lewis Pullman as a family vacationing at a secluded mobile home park where they are attacked by three masked strangers. Development of the film began in August 2008 when Rogue Pictures had confirmed that a sequel was in the works, with Bertino co-writing the screenplay with Ketai. It was originally slated to begin principal photography in 2009, during which time it was tentatively titled The Strangers: Part II. Laurent Briet and Marcel Langenegger were considered as directors, but the job was eventually given to Johannes Roberts. After a troubled development period, filming to the sequel began on May 30, 2017. The Strangers: Prey at Night was released in the United States on March 9, 2018, and in the United Kingdom on May 4, 2018, grossing $32.1 million worldwide on a budget of $5 million. The film received generally mixed reviews from critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
