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.

Redcon-1 (also known as Redcon-1 - Army of the Dead) is a 2018 British action horror film directed by Chee Keong Cheung. It stars Katarina Waters, Mark Strange, and Carlos Gallardo. The film was produced by Gallardo and Kevin Eastman. Working titles for the film included Zombie Apocalypse and Zombie City. It is Gallardo's second zombie movie. The film was released in the UK on 28 September 2018. Redcon-1 centers around a joint British-American Special Forces team, trying to save a scientist from the clutches of death during a mass zombie outbreak. Unlike traditional zombies from similar franchises, the zombies in this film have retained certain human traits, being able to fight back, and use weapons. Redcon-1 was the first movie director Chee Keong Cheung had shot in nearly a decade for his Intense Productions company. The film received mixed reviews, though has found a cult base of horror fans that united behind its UK release. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
