Based upon the critically acclaimed
Lars von Trier miniseries Riget (
The Kingdom), this American remake from fright master
Stephen King unfolds over 15 hours and centers on the creepy goings-on at a hospital known as The Kingdom.
Andrew McCarthy leads the cast as Dr. Hook, one of the physicians at the hospital which was built atop the scene of a fire that killed several children more than a century ago. As the inhabitants of the hospital are confronted with disturbing and unexplained phenomena that suggest the hospital is haunted, the doctors find themselves increasingly unable to come up with logical scientific explanations.
Bruce Davison and
Diane Ladd also star. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide
