The premise
Kingdom is a hospital whose bizarre population includes a brilliant surgeon who lives in the basement, a nearly blind security guard and a nurse who regularly faints at the sight of blood. But when patients and staff hear the voice of a girl crying through the halls and a patient destined for life as a paraplegic miraculously recovers, they are dismissive of any suggestion of mysticism or unseen powers... at their own peril.
Horror Vault's take
Set within the crumbling walls of a Maine hospital staffed by an eccentric and deeply flawed cast of characters, Kingdom Hospital is haunted by forces its inhabitants refuse to acknowledge. Strange voices, inexplicable healings, and a creeping sense of dread suggest something ancient and malevolent lurks beneath the fluorescent lights. Stephen King's long-form adaptation of Lars von Trier's Danish miniseries blends dark hospital drama with mounting supernatural menace. Those who dismiss the whispers do so at their own risk.
