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.
