Why it’s HorroRated
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is a Tim Burton film that remembered what made the original work: Michael Keaton's chaos is the point, not the world around it. The new additions integrate without disrupting and the film maintains the handmade aesthetic that distinguished the 1988 film. A sequel thirty-six years later that didn't need to be made and is better than it had any right to be.
Synopsis
Tim Burton's sequel has the original cast and a genuine affection for where these characters ended up. Michael Keaton returns as if no time has passed and the film around him is at its best when it stops explaining itself. A sequel that didn't need to exist and is better than it had any right to be.
