Ghosts wants the living out...

Rating: 7/10 (12 August 2006)

I love Burton's movies,being an ex-goth(still are on the inside)and all;)
Beetlejuice is the story of a young couple(Davis and Baldwin)who moves into their dream home,a big white house on a hill overlooking a small town. However as luck would have it,they both die as their car slides off a bridge when they are on their way into town to buy some supplies. At first they don't realize they have passed.It takes a new family to move in,the somewhat neurotic Deetz's,before they completely face the fact... the Gothic daughter seem okay enough,but they still want the Deetz's out. Who would bet better suited for the task than the exorcist himself,Beetlejuice(Keaton)?Only,he's a ghost himself and he exorcises the living...
I like this movie a lot,it's Burton-crazy and I have always felt a great sympathy both for the newly departed couple and the neurotic,misunderstood daughter(Ryder) who tries to become friends with the house-ghosts.An highly unusual plot,which I think any person with even the slightest dark sense of humor will enjoy.
