Beetlejuice
Directed by Tim Burton
1988
★ 5.2 editorial score
Michael Keaton appears for roughly seventeen minutes and the film belongs entirely to him: Tim Burton makes the afterlife a bureaucracy with waiting rooms, and the possessed dinner party is the peak.
“This ghost story from the haunters' perspective provides some of the most surprisingly enjoyable viewing in years. The drearily happy Maitlands drive into the river, come up dead, and return to their beloved, quaint house as spooks intent on despatching the hideous New York yuppie family which had usurped their property.”
