The Kingdom (1994)
Member Rating:  
Originally created for Danish television, Morten Arnfred and Lars von Trier's supernatural thriller The Kingdom chronicles the bizarre occurrences at the title hospital, the largest and most respected hospital in the country. While the series deals with such real-life complications as murder investigations and malpractice suits, a more villainous force may be unleashing itself upon the hospital staff. After a patient (Kirsten Rolffes) sees the ghost of a young girl, many of the staff members find themselves involved in frightening and bizarre situations like an ambulance that appears every evening but then instantly vanishes. Eventually, a female doctor (Birgitte Raaberg) becomes pregnant, but the accelerated development of her fetus could be a sign that the evil forces have found a way to enter more permanently into the world. This film consists of the first four episodes, or the entire first season, of the television series. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

Funny and spooky at the same time. There are English subtitles: select set-up from the main menu, select English then select Main Menu.

Careful! Block buster regularly confuses the Danish series "The Kingdom" with the British series "Kingdom." You may not get what you asked for. I didn't.

Mrs. Drusse, an elderly psychic, finds any excuse to frequent a huge Copenhagen medical facility. She senses the presence of an anguished spirit and wants to make it appear. By the time the first 2 disks end, the medical staff is in upheaval and Mrs. Drusse has taken a leading role. All I can say is, I want more! I hope BB can acquire the second year of DVDs for The Kingdom, as it's addictive. The DVD cover art shows an anatomical specimen that is key to the story.

I received a PBS/BBC comedy with Stephen Fry. Two DVD shipments on this series were incorrect, which isn't too bad, but also is not quite similar to Lars' Kingdom!

Lars von Trier has a method last is unmatchable. I was kept on the storyline from the first time I saw this story on cassette. It is so much better once the story concludes. I was surprised.
