The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Stream is a 2024 American slasher film co-produced, co-written, edited and directed by Michael Leavy, and starring Jeffrey Combs, Charles Edwin Powell, Tim Reid, Dee Wallace, Wesley Holloway, Sydney Malakeh, Jason Leavy, David Howard Thornton, Liana Pirraglia, Mark Haynes, Daniel Roebuck, Mark Holton, Felissa Rose, Danielle Harris, Tim Curry, Bill Moseley, and Tony Todd (in his final film role to be released in his lifetime). It tells the story of a family vacationing at a small hotel as its apparent owner unleashes four masked killers on them while live-streaming the activities. Several crew members for Stream, including director Leavy, and executive producers Phil Falcone and Jason Leavy, were involved with the productions of the Terrifier films. Stream was financed in part by a crowdfunding campaign on the website Indiegogo. They raised over $180,000 from the support of horror fans around the world, using the hashtag #JoinTheStream to spread the word. The film was released theatrically on August 21, 2024, and digitally on October 15, 2024. It received a critical and commercial success. A sequel is in development. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
