Editorial Review:

DescriptionState-of-the-art medical facility Kingdom Hospital sits upon the site of a tragic mill fire, and some say the spirits of those who died haunt it. Artist Peter Rickman is left for dead after a hit-and-run accident and is frequented by visions of a young ghost named Mary and the strange beast Antubis. An accident lands Peter's assailant in the same recovery room. Self-proclaimed psychic and hypochondriac Mrs. Druse holds a séance for the terminally ill patients and detects a new evil presence is in the hospital, only to receive news that her own tests have abnormal results. As Peter continues his slow recovery, the Antubis reminds him there is a price to pay for his life being saved.


What Others Say

Stephen King is a hack.
How about watching the original "The Kingdom" aka Riget done in 8 parts. Its much better, and its actually original.



TWIN SPOOKS
NOTE: This is the first three episodes of the series; so you need to catch the other two to get the whole series.
KINGDOM HOSPITAL seems to be Stephen King's homage to TWIN PEAKS. Stylistically they have much in common: animals that talk (including an anteater!); Downs Syndrome actors reminiscent of the dancing baby in Peaks; hospital staff breaking into song and dance with NA NA NA KISS HIM GOODBYE; and other subtle reminders. On its own, the beginning episodes are familiar King territory with vengeful spirits; eccentric characters; and many subplots going on. Set in a state of the art hospital built on the site of a Civil War era factory, KINGDOM HOSPITAL is unusual viewing. Andrew McCarthy does well as the maverick Dr. Hook; Bruce ... Read More



Buy the full series
I gave 5 stars for the show because it was amazing.
But, if you're going to buy Kingdom Hospital; buy the whole series. (4 disc box set)
It has extra features, all the shows are in one box and it comes out to around the same price anyway, maybe even cheaper depending on where you go.
I don't own these three DVD's but it seems to me like a rip off.



DONT BUY THIS!!!
This is the biggest scam ever!! This DVD will just leave you hangin and wanting more. You might as well buy the complete season if your gonna get into this because you will be pissed when the second episode is over and you are left there wondering what the hell happens. I bought this like an idiot at the store and then found out about the full season!! This DVD just cheats you out of 20 bucks, worst money I ever spent!!



Just checked in to the Hospital
So I am watching this series and realize, "Hey, this is really good!" I have stopped the dvd long enough to eat and go to the restroom. I am not usually a long distance tv watcher but I can't seem to stop. Everytime Peter wakes up and speaks AND NO ONE IS AROUND you just want to pull your hair out. Ok, I have said enough. This is a must see. If you have the patience to wait, buy one at a time. If you are like me, you will want them all. Is it Oct 11th? I bought too soon and have to wait for Post Mortem to come out. That is the last one, right?
