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
A TV reporter and YouTuber in Taiwan covers a traditional ritual to purge a site where someone hanged themselves. His fiancee gets drawn into the investigation when people start dying by hanging, all connected to her high school past and a decade-old bullying incident.

《粽邪》（），在2018年上映的驚悚電影，於2018年1月8日開鏡，拍攝40多天，由夏于喬、鄒承恩、陳博正領銜主演，取材台灣彰化沿海一帶傳統民俗送煞儀式——送肉粽，2018年8月31日於台灣上映。 臺灣彰化一帶，認為上吊自盡的人怨氣最重，可能會接二連三的捉交替，於是通常舉辦法會將繩索送到海邊或是在河流的出海口燒掉，以達驅邪之效，並以臺語黑話稱為「送肉粽」。吳家維在電視臺工作，身兼YouTuber，並以鬼故事題材為影片主題，聽說彰化舉辦了送肉粽儀式，他帶著助理「阿怪」到送肉粽現場，卻忘了帶補光燈，家維未婚妻林書儀，故鄉剛好在此地，貼心地把補光燈送來……但卻發現捲入了一場恐怖的事件，接二連三有人懸梁。當書儀得知，死者都是她十年前的高中同學後；她更回憶起這十年以來忘不了的，那難忘的高中校園霸凌......
