I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Kingdom Hospital is a very good black comedy series, presented by and adapted for US audiences by Stephen King. That name should, shall we say, ring a bell for everyone. Briefly, a community hospital is built on the smoldering sites of a civil war-era clothing factory and a depression-era private hospital. Its neurology department is the focus of the show, complete with wacky characters reminiscent of M*A*S*H and some otherworldly shenanigans. The series spans 13 episodes, with good special effects and acting. Andrew McCarthy (80s Brat Pack member), Diane Ladd (Chinatown), Bruce Davison (Dead Man's Curve), and Ed Begley Jr. (This Is Spinal Tap) lead the cast. It's a serial series, meaning that the episodes build toward and refer back to one another. 12 of the 13 episodes are wonderful: funny, suspenseful, and quite enjoyable. The single exception is in the middle -- "The Passion Of Rev. Jimmy". Strongly recommended for Stephen King fans, M*A*S*H fans, E.R. fans.

Yes, a rarity nowadays, this is only one season, but its a complete series with an actual ending. Its quirky in places, weird all the time, it has enough suspense to keep you wanting more and its one of the best feel-good, "I love it when a plan comes together" endings ever. Thats when several of the series weirder bits all form a 'solid' ending ;) Who is it aimed at? lovers of horror, Stephen King, thrillers and the unusual. Yes its not exactly horrific, but most horror isn't. Its definitely fanciful, thrilling and a bit dramatic with a bit of comedy thrown in to the mix, but not in to your face.Its not got amazing acting, its so weird and wonderful of a storyline that its not particularly realistic, but its one of those rare times where the overall experience makes you totally forget any shortcomings.Best way to watch is all at once like me and my wife did. A long and gratifying experience that had me getting right online to get 'Red Dragon Tattoo' by 'Fountains of Wayne' and now every time I hear it I smile and think of the series and in-particular the ending, which by the way, I just re-watched the ending which I would consider a sad thing to do, but its what prompted this review. Corny as it sounds it warms your heart lol.Excellent.

Well Elmer and lona massingale are one of the most interesting character in the story..And they are my favorite!! The story is all about a young doctor who tries to pursue and show his affection to an old but still gorgeous senior doctor.And since Dr.lona massingale works with elmer Dad she just could'nt bare or admit to her self that this young guy really have feelings for her but the good thing is that dr.lona massingale really knows her boundaries. One of my favorite part of the story is when dr.traffs goes to dr. massingale sleep lab for some study and the two of them ended up in the morgue this is just one of the fun stuff that happen between this two character. And their famous line was " to the traffs who never give up!! to the massingale who never give in!!" I just love their story..

I didn't watch Ridget by Lars Von Trier. I just saw this series collection box at a store, was FOOLED by it's cover and bought it. Hey, I'm not the first who falls into that tale. So I am here to alert you. What is this Kingdom Hospital about anyway? Do we have ghosts of little girls, do we have blood gushing out someone's eyes? No. This series is supposed to be something like "bizarre dark comedy". But you do not laugh. You do not cry. You won't be scared or confused. You will be looking at your TV screen cursing the advertising studio that made that ludicrous DVD cover. And asking yourself "hey, what happened to Stephen King? Did he eat some rotten tacos before doing that?" Yes, he probably did.The thing is, if you're going to make something about a hospital with bizarre sense of humor, you should create an atmosphere in there. I felt like I was watching ER second season after ingesting some cough medicine bottles. And it wasn't fun as it sounds.SPOILERI never thought that someone would think that a anteater could be threatening. Those quiet animals NOT even have teeth. They eat ants for crissake! A angry koala would more scary than a "anteater from the underworld". WATCH OUT! IS THE LONG TONGUE OF DOOM! Blah.
