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

Longlegs is a 2024 American horror film written and directed by Osgood Perkins. The film stars Maika Monroe, Blair Underwood, Alicia Witt, and Nicolas Cage. Set in the 1990s, the story follows a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent assigned to hunt down an occult-obsessed serial killer responsible for a string of family murders across Oregon. The killer is dubbed Longlegs, and baffles the FBI with his perfect ability to seemingly leave zero trace of involvement at the crime scenes. Longlegs premiered in Los Angeles at the Grauman's Egyptian Theatre on July 8, 2024, and was released theatrically in the United States by Neon on July 12, 2024. It received positive reviews and grossed $128 million worldwide on a budget of less than $10 million, becoming Neon's highest-grossing film domestically, the highest-grossing independent film of the year, and Perkins's highest-grossing film.
