With ghosts and the dead, one would normally anticipate a horror movie loaded with screams and gory figures. But in Beetlejuice, we see a new dimension humour being experimented with.
Taking into the account that the movie was made in 1988 with limited special effects, Beetlejuice could be simply labelled as "creativity at its best".
Tim Burton is a pure visionary and with this movie you cannot help but appreciate the amount of creativity he has and his ability to translate it to screen.
Acting is top-rate from all fronts. One can't help but admire promising young Winona Ryder - a flower ready to bloom.
It would take a couple of viewings to be appreciate the movie in totality.
