Beetlejuice is a quirky offbeat dark comedy from the late 1980s starring Michael Keaton and directed by Tim Burton. Alec Baldwin and Geena Davies play a recently deceased married couple who are living in their beautiful home as afterlives. They collaborate with a crazy ghoul named Beetlejuice to drive away any other people who come to stay there. The casting is really good and Michael Keaton was at the top at this time. Production design, as usual is the case for a Burton film is really good and darkness and morbid overtones are seeping through the frames. Tim Burton is not everyone's cup of tea and even his most accessible films aren't universally adored. So watch Beetlejuice with these things in mind.

When I watched for the very first time Beetlejuice, I was still a young child whose only reference to the After Life World was the TV show cartoon Casper, that young ghost whose only wish is to become a little boy once again.So when my parents showed me that movie for the first time and tried to comfort me, assuring that it's not as scary as it looks, I was spooked anyway (the pun is intended).But I loved it even if I was scared a couple of times. I don't know maybe it's because that movie reminds me a lot of one of my favorite childhood picture ever: The Mask.Even if the two stories are way different from each other, The Mask and Beetlejuice share a lot of similarities. Their main characters share the same craziness, the same power to do what they want without any limit, the same way to modify their body shape as well. They are both carefree and seem to get out straight from a cartoon. Maybe Michael Keaton has been one of the model Jim Carrey took the inspiration from to play such an eccentric character as The Mask.The secondary roles are greatly played too starting with Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis. They have a great chemistry together and they are so sweet impersonating that young couple who suddenly dies in a tragic car crash and are forced to watch what was their home being taken over by a very obnoxious family they want out. They are not particularly being gifted into scaring this family away but that what's making them so attaching.Winona Ryder, Catherine O'Hara, Jeffrey Jones and Glenn Shadix are also so good playing the new owners. My favorite is Winona by far. She's such a treat playing this young lonely goth girl who befriends Baldwin and Davis as they are the only ones who seems to care about her.Even Juno and her footballers alongside the dead staff are so hilarious to watch. The only two scenes in which they appears are so fun to watch. There's absolutely nothing to throw away about the cast performance, it's perfect.Just as this movie!

A couple of recently deceased ghosts contract the services of a "bio- exorcist" in order to remove the obnoxious new owners of their house. Before Batman Michael Keaton was Beetlejuice alongside Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis. Although the film is not what i would call the funniest film ever made it's still a very sweet Family Friendly movie that at times turns kinda kinky or even scary and gross. I heard rumors about a Beetljejuice 2 and honestly i would love to see Lydia have her own family and live with Adam and Barbara and maybe her parents could have a cameo or make it a bit darker like he did with Batman Returns i mean Tim Burton made 2 awesome Batman movies how hard could it be to make an even better Beetlejuice film than the first.

As you can see in the title I just re-watched this movie. It has been a long time since the last time, and I remembered I used to enjoy it a lot. On IMDb I saw that once I gave it a 10 so I knew I needed to re-watch it. I was not a mistake. Boy did I have a good time seeing this movie again, being invested with these wonderful characters, and being both in love, disgusted and creeped out by Betelgeuse (Yes, this is how you spell his name). I just love this movie and can't get enough from it. I now agree with me from the past that gave it a 10. This movie deserves a 10, for delivery of pure entertainment full of interesting world building, fun characters (even the Deetz's which you love to hate) and well thought out designs. As you can see I love this movie very much. BTW, the other day I tried to put Betelgeuse-like makeup on but I looked like a panda bear.
