I will always remember the feeling when i first watched "Beetlejuice". The pictures were so strong and so dark. Do not forget it is more than 30 years old and that i was very young. Today most people will laugh but the vibes of the film are still here. I can't forget this image...
Anyway, let me tell you about the plot. A young couple discovers that they are dead and now they become spirits who can't leave their own house. After a while the house is sold and the new owners come. Obviously the spirits want to drive them away. But they can't do anything so they hire a malicious spirit to drive them out. So Beetlejuice is summoned but he has his own dark agenda.
Beetlejuice is played by Michael Keaton. I think it is one of the best performances of Keaton. Also this is Michael Keaton's favorite film of his own. Director is Tim Burton. Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin are the spirits. Also we see Winona Ryder as the daughter of the couple that buys the house.
Favorite lines of the film:
-Want a cigarette?
-No thank you.
-Trying to cut it down myself.
All in all this is a fantasy horror comedy film. A genre that is very difficult to make and i think less and less studios/directors want to make that kind of films. Beetlejuice 2 is said to be in development.
Here is the trailer:
