Description:

Soap opera meets THE SHINING in this star-studded miniseries that was nominated for two Emmy Awards; based on the Danish miniseries RIGET (KINGDOM), it is centered around the bizarre and preternatural Kingdom Hospital, where we meet a cast of peculiar characters inhabiting a quietly menacing setting. When Peter Rickman is hit by an inebriated driver, the last thing he sees before lapsing into unconsciousness is a vaguely human form who announces its mission to send Peter to rid the hospital of the evil that dwells there. Once inside the hospital's halls, Peter meets the hypochondriac, psychic Mrs. Druse, and Dr. Hook, the brilliant surgeon who lives in the basement; when patients and staff begin to hear the cries coming from the walls, this unlikely band of allies sets out to solve the mystery of the ghostly inhabitants of Kingdom Hospital.

Description:

Three wry and shocking Stephen King short stories are linked by a stray cat which roams from one tale to the next. The stories feature James Woods attempting to quit smoking by any means necessary, Robert Hays being forced to circle a building's hazardous ledge, and Drew Barrymore threatened by a tiny gnome.

Description:

A man and his mother are the last of a dying breed who require the life force of virgins to survive. Lovely high school student Tanya would be perfect, but the neighborhood cats aren't fooled by their human disguises. Based on a Stephen King story.

Description:

In this collaboration with Stephen King, director George Romero assembles a distinguished cast and pays vividly hued homage to the E.C. horror comics of the 1950s. (This film appeared years before the TALES FROM THE CRYPT series.) Five creepy tales are strung together by a framing story involving a young boy being punished by his father for reading the gruesome, titular comic book. "Father's Day" tells the tale of a family patriarch exacting beyond-the-grave revenge on the daughter who murdered him. In "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill," a Maine hayseed (King himself in a ridiculously over-the-top performance) is overtaken by a meteor-based plant growth. A cuckolded husband exacts watery revenge on his cheating wife and her lover in "Something to Tide You Over." A hairy beast in a box is used for nefarious purposes at a university in "The Crate." Finally, in "They're Creeping Up on You," a wealthy, arrogant New Yorker with a fear of germs has a disturbing run-in with cockroaches during a blackout. While the stories are a bit brief, the style is appropriate for the anthology format. Romero's use of garish colors to mimic the ink in comic books is visually appealing, preventing the gore on display from being too off-putting. Featuring early appearances by actors such as Ed Harris and Ted Danson, CREEPSHOW is eerie, engaging entertainment.

Description:

A nightmare world of machines are taking over the Earth. At first the problems seem minor as gas pumps stop pumping fuel, video games flash and beep uncontrollably, and soda machines spit change and soda pop wildly. However, when the carnage begins, a small group of people make a last stand against a horde of massive 18-wheelers. A comic horror flick from Stephen King, based on his short story "Trucks."

Description:

Based on the eBook by horror author Stephen E. King, RIDING THE BULLET concerns a series of macabre incidents that haunt a troubled art student (Jonathan Jackson). Having survived a suicide attempt, he sets out to save his mother (Barbara Hershey), who has suffered a near-fatal stroke. But in the process, he finds himself coming face to face with Death (David Arquette).

Description:

The final installment in Stephen King's spooky hospital drama, based on Lars von Trier's miniseries RIGET, presents a climax toward which the series has been building, novel-like, throughout. Described by King himself as a cross between ER and THE SHINING, the show is set in a hospital that acts as one of the characters. Rebuilt on the same land as an old mill that took the lives of many children when it burned down during the Civil War, Kingdom Hospital is increasingly plagued by supernatural events. Dr. Hook (Andrew McCarthy, PRETTY IN PINK, MONK) is an excellent but troubled surgeon who lives in Kingdom's basement and has a fraught relationship with the incompetent, egotistical Dr. Stedman (Bruce Davidson, X-MEN). Diane Ladd (ALICE, WILD AT HEART) plays the hypochondriac, psychic Mrs. Druse, who is at first the only one willing to explore a paranormal explanation for the strange occurrences at the facility. In the final episodes, Mrs. Druse and her accomplices get in touch with the spirits from the Old Kingdom, and learn the truth about the Kingdom's forefathers.

Description:

Based on Lars Von Trier's miniseries entitled RIGET, Stephen King's 15-hour drama is a hospital-bound ghost story that follows the more or less eccentric inhabitants of Kingdom Hospital. Built on the same land where a mill burned down during the Civil War, the hospital is exhibiting numerous signs of paranormal activity. At night, children can be heard screaming in pain, while the near-resident hypochondriac and psychic, Mrs. Druse (Diane Ladd, ALICE DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE, WILD AT HEART), is certain that something is amiss. As the series unfolds, patients and doctors alike become increasingly convinced of the impinging presence of the supernatural, with more and more people experiencing terrifying encounters. In this installment, Mrs. Druse and Dr. Hook (Andrew McCarthy, PRETTY IN PINK) attempt contact with Mary's ghost by soliciting the aid of a dying patient, and a criminal on the lam hides out in the hospital. Meanwhile, an attorney admitted to Kingdom for a heart attack attempts to move himself to the top of the organ donor list. The dark-hearted Dr. Stegman (Bruce Davidson, HATE CRIMES) uses some unfortunate surgical techniques on a homeless patient, and later undergoes an unpleasant induction that sends him into the basement of the facility, where he finds that the horrors have only just begun.

Description:

Master of terror Stephen King turns his attentions to TV, with this adaptation of Lars Von Trier's miniseries RIGET, which translates into "kingdom." The beginning of the 15-hour drama sees the opening of a new, state-of-the-art hospital facility in Lewiston, Maine. Dr. Hook (Andrew McCarthy, PRETTY IN PINK, JOURS TRANQUILLES A CLICHY) heads up a team of newly-installed doctors. But strange things soon begin to occur around the hospital. At night, sounds of children crying in pain can be heard distinctly, but the staff persists in attributing this occurrence to natural causes. But when psychic Sally Druse (Academy Award-winner Diane Ladd, WILD AT HEART) comes to visit an old friend who has been hospitalized after a suicide attempt, she blacks out after having horrific visions. The doctors claim she has a brain affliction, but Sally knows she has seen the truth of the hospital. As more and more people catch glimpses of a phantasmal, frightened little girl, and more unexplainable events occur, Sally's story comes to carry more weight. Does the history of the hospital's site have anything to do with what's going on, situated as it is in the same spot a Civil War-era mill burned down, killing many child laborers? The stellar cast of this quintessential King chiller also features Academy Award nominee Bruce Davison (X2) as Dr. Stegman and Ed Begley, Jr. (THIS IS SPINAL TAP) as Dr. Jesse James.
