The Kingdom
A baptism of fear awaits you at... THE KINGDOM
Created by Lars von Trier
A darkly comic supernatural mystery set in a hospital where rational science collides with inexplicable, demonic forces, blending psychological horror with surreal, unresolved dread.
The Kingdom is the most technologically advanced hospital in Denmark, a gleaming bastion of medical science. A rash of uncanny occurrences, however, begins to weaken the staff's faith in science – a phantom ambulance pulls in every night, but disappears; voices echo in the elevator shaft; and a pregnant doctor's fetus seems to be developing much faster than is natural.
