A macabre, deliberately strange haunted-hospital narrative that blends psychological unease with supernatural dread, rooted in historical tragedy and existential unease.

Stephen King's take on the masterpiece series by Lars von Trier. The story takes place in a hospital in Lewiston, Maine, built on the site of a Civil War-era mill fire in which many children died.
