Beetlejuice
Tim Burton’s “Beetlejuice” (1988) marked his second directorial venture and has since solidified its status as one of his finest works. This darkly comedic tale introduces us to Adam and Barbara Maitland, portrayed by Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis, a recently deceased couple trapped in their home as specters.
Their attempts to frighten away the new occupants lead them to the delightfully mischievous bio-exorcist, “Beetlejuice,” brought to life by Michael Keaton’s iconic performance. It’s an artfully crafted film with imaginative special effects, tinged with a distinctive dark humor. It garnered critical acclaim and commercial success, even securing the Academy Award for Best Makeup.
