There's absolutely no organic flowthrough.

Tim Burton's 'Beetle Juice' is so much fun. About ten years ago, I had caught the last half hours of it on television. I didn't know the name of what looked like it was a funny movie. Later I learned that the title of the film was 'Beetle Juice'. I watched the movie last night and it had me laughing all the way. I was rooting for the two ghosts, Adam and Barb, to find some peace and for the Deetzes to...well, what can one wish for such a crazy family. In his later movies, Burton has already shown his strengtht in movies with a dark, wacky and Gothic tone while the story is easy to relate to and entertaining. Compared to his other works, 'Beetle Juice' is more comical in nature. The characters are quirky and likable. The art direction and special effects are simplistic but that works excellently. Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Winona Ryder, Jeffrey Jones and Catherine O'Hara are terrific. Michael Keaton is hardly recognizable as he does an effortless job in pulling off the title role.
'Beetle Juice' is an 80's classic. In several ways it's a tribute to horror classics (as is apparent through the references) such as 'Dawn of the Dead' and 'The Exorcist', to name a few. But one shouldn't be scared to show this to kids. Why would one deprave anyone from such energy, imagination and fun?
