Silliness creeps into ABC's spooky `Kingdom Hospital'.(Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)
Byline: Joanne Weintraub
For about 30 minutes, Stephen King's new miniseries had me in the palm of its spooky, skeletal hand.
Then the talking anteater showed up.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. First, some basics.
"Kingdom Hospital" began life not as a King novel, but as a 1994 Danish miniseries written and directed by Lars von Trier ("Breaking the Waves," "Dancer in the Dark").
Two years later, when the first four of 13 episodes were released as a theatrical movie, "The Kingdom," admiring reviewers described it as darkly comic, an agreeably horrifying cross between "ER" and "Twin Peaks."
King and Richard Dooling wrote the screenplay for the American version, which begins this week with a two-hour installment, to be followed by 11 weekly one-hour episodes (10 p.m. EST Wednesdays, starting March 10) and a two-hour conclusion.
