A previous TV series that was taken off of the air by ABC before the last episode was shown. Kingdom Hospital has the set up of Stephen King's Novels where it builds up chapter by chapter only this is episode by episode. It has all the normal King features, facts mixed in with fiction then mixed with the typical twisted nonchalant humor such as a Nurse who faints at the sight of blood, an almost blind security guard and a surgical doctor who lives in the basement who has a slight morbid side about himself and his co-workers faults, a ghost ambulance from the Old Kingdom Hospital that taunts the current ambulance drivers, a hypochondriac psychic who is only admitting herself to figure out the presences she feels between the Old Kingdom Hospital and the current standing Kingdom Hospital. It also includes a morbidly funny musical possession of an imprisoned murderer who failed double suicide with his lover on the outside and the main part of story being the spirit of a little girl from the Gates Mill Fire reaching out for help who has a strange friend named Antubus. The character Antubus has its own twists and turns and the series features much more than can be said on here. All and all if you have the patience and realization of Stephen King and even if you don't then this is an excellent tv series where good overcomes in the end.Read full review
This having been a TV mini-series, it was the longest adaptation of Stephen King's books to TV or film. In my opinion, it was truly one of the best adaptations yet. I consider myself to be a Stephen King buff, and I like it because most of his adaptations to TV or movie are always good in my opinion. I liked this adaptation because it had some humor to it, along with it being scary. I chose to buy it because I wanted to be able to watch my favorite episodes of the series anytime I choose. Overall, Kingdom hospital was Stephen King's tour de force because of the depth this had to it, explaining every little detail about the events occuring, and the ones that led up to the current events. It was very detailed, and it had a very good plot. It truly is one of his best adaptations, in my opinion.Read full review
I have always loved Kingdom Hospital. I haven't been able to find the complete set anywhere until I bought it on ebay. This DVD set is funny, entertaining, strange (in a good way) and made me fall in love with Stephen King all over again. I've watched it twice already and most likely will again. Stephen King brings in some great characters. Those meant to be hated are and those meant to find funny are. And of course Stephen King has a very small role in this DVD so you know that it is some of his best work.
13 Episodes in All........Long Mini Series, But Worth It. All Kinds Of NonStop Activity! Little Mary A Ghost With Her Pal Antibus Haunt The Hospital Along With Many Others. A Lady Patient Hears Mary & Starts To Investigate. She Ends Up With Many Leads & The Story Plays Out! Antibus Certainly is An Awesome Creature That is Beyond Words and Adds A Lot To This Movie! Steven King Has Presented Us With Another Great One!! A Nice Low Key Scary Horror Movie....I Highly Recommend Buying It & Hope YOU Enjoy As Much As I Do!!
four disc set of a miniseries based upon a stephen king story called The Kingdom. Very good show my husband love it!
