OK so I read maybe 20+ reviews before buying the series and one in particular was accurate, the first 2 episode are soooooo bloody boring! It was the last few mins of episode two that caught my attention! Episode 3 was pretty good, I loved the the idea of everyone being possessed and singing and dancing to a song! That whole scene was pure genius! Yet here I am on episode 8 (all in one evening btw) and I am back to bored!! The story is non existent really.... It's haphazardness in the way it's put together means you can't get to know or like any of the characters!The whole thing is ridiculous and to top it all off ... Then there is the anteater....!!!!It's absolutely bloody beyond words stupid!!!!!! Anteaters don't have full on mouths or teeth that can devour you!!!! A wolf would have worked better! This show isn't scary at all, more laughable!!! American horror story got every single thing right- this show got every single thing wrong! Never been more disappointed!!The only reason it gets 3* s is Diane Ladd! She is the saving grace of a show that's terrible beyond words!!!

I just got this on DVD, have been wanting to see it again for years. It is pure genius and a masterpiece. Think Stephen King channeling Quentin Tarantino. Although, I want you to realize, that Kingdom Hospital is pure King and the previous comment is just an analogy. King has let us glimpse this genius in his writings, but he let it all loose in Kingdom Hospital. I must see for lovers of the shadows and things that go bump in the night.Well, they are saying I have to have 10 lines for a post, so I continue. To really see this genius in writing, read Hearts in Atlantis. The movie they made from Hearts was a tiny part of the book, and then it was dumbed down, very disappointing. The book was so good, I had to reread it again as soon as I finished the first read. Kingdom Hospital is King's genius on film. It does not get better than this.

This fantastic mini-series had me hooked right form the very first episode for so many reasons, the story for one thing. wanting more after each episode. I am so glad i rented out both volumes at once on D.V.D. so I wouldn't have been left hanging for the next episode.I LOVE this show, it has sadness, serenity, horror, twists & turns, and even a little bit of dark humour which is sure to be put a different perspective on things.You will love "Kingdom Hospital" from beginning to end. You would surely be a fool to not watch this, it's a real treasure, television at it's best, kudos to the cast and crew for their outright extraordinary work on this piece, and again, without spoiling anything or giving anything away, the ending is sure to have you guessing, but in a good way, because no matter what those criticisers say, they will not hurt my respect and love of Stephen King's: "Kingdom Hospital". It is a great show with great acting, great music, and a great storyline, one for the ages. For a mini-series, this is utterly perfect, and is even better than a lot of feature films out there.WATCH KINGDOM HOSPITAL ! ! ! 9/10Adios ! Y'all

Probably one of the best video representations of Stephen King's writing style (although he did not write the original novel), "Kingdom Hospital" definitely worth the watching! Granted, this mini-series is not for everyone. If you're into short, powerful horror films that end with all the loose ends neatly tied up, this one just won't be for you. Just as in his novels, King takes his time to explore characters, situations, the macabre, and so on. Like his novels, this is a rich exploration that takes the time and patience of the viewer.What I liked the most about this series were the running motifs that tied the numerous subplots together in very subtle ways. Things like secret hand-signs, recurring phrases, and soundtrack songs like "Red Dragon Tattoo" by Fountains of Wayne. I also like the way that black humor was woven into situations in ways that seemed appropriate, and yet not overdone.I'm sure that "Kingdom Hospital" will never win any artistic awards, but the quality of this piece surpasses much of what one can expect from American television miniseries.
