TV DVDs - Stephen King Presents Kingdom Hospital is the haunting 15-hour drama series developed directly for television by the award-winning, best-selling master of horror. Using Lars Von Trier’s Danish miniseries, Riget, (The Kingdom) as a point of inspiration, King tells the terrifying story of The Kingdom, a hospital with a bizarre population that includes a nearly blind security guard, a nurse who regularly faints at the sight of blood, and a paraplegic artist whose recovery goes beyond the miraculous. When patients and staff hear the tortured voice of a little girl crying through the halls, they are dismissive of any suggestion of mysterious or unseen powers . . . but at their own peril.
