Amazon.co.uk Review
Before making Batman, director Tim Burton and star Michael Keaton teamed up for this popular black comedy about a young couple (Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin) whose premature death leads them to a series of wildly bizarre afterlife exploits. As ghosts in their own New England home, they're faced with the challenge of scaring off the pretentious new owners (Catherine O'Hara and Jeffrey Jones), whose daughter (Winona Ryder) has an affinity for all things morbid. Keaton plays the mischievous Beetlejuice, a freelance "bio-exorcist" who's got an evil agenda behind his plot to help the young undead newlyweds. The film is a perfect vehicle for Burton's visual style and twisted imagination, with clever ideas and gags packed into every scene. Beetlejuice is also a showcase for Keaton, who tackles his title role with maniacal relish and a dark edge of menace.--Jeff Shannon

5.0 out of 5 stars Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!, 1 Sep 2006
By Andrew Kerr (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Beetlejuice [1988] [DVD] (DVD)
Tim Burton has done it again and produced another masterpiece. I know that Beetlejuice was released quite a few years ago, but this is the first time in recent years that I have had the chance to watch it. When I was younger I couldn't appricate what is simply a stunning and original film. Many of my all time fravourite films such as The Nightmare Before Christmas were directed by him. Beetlejuice tells the story of a couple who die in a car accident only to return to there home to discover that same fact. They must adapt to there new existance while attempting to 'scare' away the new occupients of there home. But without much help from the afterlife care they decide - against all advice - to enlist the help of Beetlejuice and chaos erupts. I know that by todays standards the special effects are showing there age and it does look quite 'plasticseany' in places. But it doesn't matter as the plot and acting are perfect. Bettlejuice is also extremly funny throughout. All these factors make it an brillient film which is a must see that can be watched over and over again. I like original ideas that are done to prefection unlike todays productions which are spitting out remakes left, right and centre.

5.0 out of 5 stars Burton Magic, 4 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Beetlejuice [VHS] [1988] (VHS Tape)
the first time I saw beetlejuice was when it premiered on Tv and I have loved it ever since then. Tim Burton has produced a true classic. is it a comedy, is it a horror, or is it one of the most original titles evr conceived. well, all of them really. True, the effects are a bit dated, but this is not a niggle that should put you off buying this superb piece of film. Michael keaton is truly brilliant as the evil bio-exorcist of the title and no matter how many times you watch it, you always come back. Buy it now, if not sooner.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this movie, and so should you., 31 Jul 2004
This review is from: Beetlejuice [1988] [DVD] (DVD)
There are a small group of movies that every human being should watch just to get a basic education in films. Films such as the godfather series and the monty python movies are already in that small bunch, and as from today Beetlejuice is now another one of those great films.
I don't know a single person who hasn't seen and loved this movie. I can't even see a single fault. I personally love Tim Burton's experimentation with the then unknown special effects features. They seem to us watching it now, very simple and something most directors can do with their eyes closed. But since this film was made in the late 80's, those special effects where so rarely used that they had become a myth. I therefor admire Tim Burton's courage to dealve into the world of special effects and the results are amazing and still seem amazing to this day.
This is a film that wont disappoint, get boring or seem out of place in any forthcoming decades.
