Beetlejuice 1988

He’s the ghost with the most. Beetlejuice is fun and entertaining Tim Burton classic. In this most unusual haunted house story, a recently deceased couple seeks out the mischievous Beetlejuice in order to rid their house of its new owners. The film has a terrific cast that includes Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Michael Keaton, and Winona Ryder. Keaton and Ryder shine, delivering great performances that add a lot of charm and personality to the film. Additionally, Burton gives the film a unique and distinctive visual style, and Danny Elfman matches it with a wonderfully whimsical score. However, the effects and style of the film are quite dated and Burton’s vision gets a bit too surreal at times. But overall, Beetlejuice is a hauntingly fun and outrageously enjoyable romp.
