ShangLuda Admirable film.

Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

tiskec Let me just start by saying, you have to have some interest in the medical field to be able to enjoy this mini-series. I loved it personally. The setting actually felt as though it was a genuine hospital, and the scripts weren't rushed or bored through. It took its time, and gave a sense of being "real life."This is a show about a dead little girl who is caught between the afterlife and the living. She is accompanied by Anubis, the Egyptian guardian of death's gate. Here, she tries to use a completely and utterly damaged patient; at first paralyzed due to being struck by a van, to communicate with those of the living. She also requests the assistance of a psychic woman, who can get readings from the dead. At the same time the supernatural little girl is trying to acquire the people and doctors, there's actual medical situations happening. King does a great job merging the two worlds together without the story becoming "ridiculous." The actors really made me think they were trained medical professionals. The cast did an excellent job with making everything connect with the viewer. It may seem slow to some, but there's more than one story to be told in just a single story. That's a brain teaser for the reader, but it's the best way I can describe it. Without knowing where all the characters come from, it wouldn't make any sense when they come together towards the end. King always does a great job at this as he always does. It portrays more than one character's point of view to the situation. Anybody who likes the supernatural, and medical, will absolutely enjoy this mini series. I would recommend this mini series to every one. Which is why I rated Kingdom Hospital a 9/10.

lathe-of-heaven Sorry, I normally don't go out of my way to post overly negative reviews, but being that the original Danish story was a bit of a minor Classic and also that Stephen King HIMSELF wrote the screenplay for this one, my expectations were a bit more than usual.The deal is, that I have come to the point where I just cannot STAND Stephen King's writing anymore. I LOVED his early stuff, but it seems like as years go by and maybe I'll try either to read a newer book by him or in this case try to watch a movie / series that he has written. And, it always is the same. The characters (which USED to be his strong point long, LONG ago) are bloody ALWAYS the same. Transparent, shallow, self-serving @ssholes, especially ANY authority figures.In addition to that and bearing more on this show here, I just found the voice-over INCREDIBLY stupid and distracting to what COULD have been maybe a decent story. ***VERY MINOR SPOILERS*** Right at the beginning when there is a cool shot of the black bird sitting on the guy, good ol' Stephen couldn't just let us squirm with the suspense of seeing the guy lying there, not able to move, and this carrion bird sitting on his chest. For God's frigg'n sake! Just LEAVE it! That would have been just perfectly fine because then the audience would be increasingly worried and on the edge of their seats to see what happens. But NOOOOOOOOOO... Not good enough for ol' Smart@ss Steve. Nope, he's gotta have this totally INANE voice-over like the bird is talking or something, and he says, 'mmmm, looks tasty. I think I'll start with the eyes' Are you frigg'n KIDDING me!??? Talk about horrendously stupid. And from there it is just more of the same. for another example, instead of just showing us maybe vague, ghostly half-seen images of the little girl, they bloody well put her full on the screen for a few seconds, looking right at you. And then this incredibly IDIOTIC voice-over comes in and says something unbelievably moronic like 'That is the one you will have to keep your eye on', or some such bloody nonsense.***END SPOILERSI guess what the bottom line is here is that, as the audience, you feel SO damn insulted that all these 'cute' lines and crap are put in there and it's like you are increasingly getting more and more frustrated, and finally yell out, "Just get on with the DAMN story and LEAVE OUT all the crappy cute dialog for God's sake!!!"Just bloody AWFUL!And, it is not that I just don't like remakes, because the 2004 version of Stephen King's 'SALEM'S LOT' is actually pretty good.Maybe it's just me and my personal taste. If YOU happen to like your Horror with all these inane and cute voice-overs and constant 'wink winks' at the audience, then by all means go for it. Others here have apparently liked it and most likely appreciate Stephen King much more than I do. So, I don't know... For ME, it was God-Awful. That is PRECISELY the reason why I cannot stand 'American Horror Story'. For others who like their Horror that way, well maybe they might like it...

dhanah_b 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..

Chickensmoke I enjoyed Kingdom hospital very much but i felt at times it was a bit slow and a few episodes were made up of unnecessary events, that weren't crucial to the plot, although some were enjoyable. The first episode was fantastic at the start but then dragged on for an extra 20 minutes too long and the first 4 episodes had a good atmosphere. Then the series got a bit boring although mostly enjoyable to watch. I loved the episode 'Butter fingers' and the last two episodes were excellent bar the unsatisfying ending. At times the show was quite scary and certainly creepy but there's nothing that will haunt you forever here. The effects were quite good especially on the creepy anteater that roams the old kingdom. I recommend it if you like the Craig r Baxley and Stephen King combination and if you enjoyed this or want to watch a enjoyable series by the pair but not one as long then i recommend 'Rose red', 'Storm of the century' and 'the shining (1997)'.Once again there is some cool atmospheric music from Gary Chang although lots of the music is just the same piece playing throughout the series. I found it entertaining because or the plot and the mystery once you watch one show you want to see the next! All in all kingdom hospital is good, when you've got the time for it.
