The Kingdom

1994–2022 · 3 seasons

A slow-building nightmare in sterile hospital corridors, laced with absurd comedy and creeping dread that disorients and haunts.

Created by
Lars von Trier
Genres
Comedy, Drama, Mystery
Tagline
A baptism of fear awaits you at... THE KINGDOM
Overview
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.
How it feels
Dark, eerie, absurd and satirical. Slow-burning and demanding.
About
Madness, death, faith, isolation
Content
Strong violence and gore. Mild sexual content and language.
