Director: Tim Burton
Year:1989
Stars: Alec Baldwin, Geena Davies, Winona Ryder, Michael Keaton, Catherine O'Hara, Jeffrey Jones, Glenn Shadix
Here's proof Tim Burton has become saner, not gotten odder. This movie is bizarre. Like most people, I've seen it before - but it was some time ago. I remembered it was odd, but not this odd. That's not to say it's a bad movie - it's actually very enjoyable; and kudos to Burton for making a movie with so much surrealism in it and making it a success.
The Maitlands (Baldwin and Davies) are a couple who die, and want to drive out the people who move into their home. Lots of madness ensues (much of it to do with Beetlejuice - Keaton), but that's the basic plot. And it works well. It's a fun watch - if very, very surreal.
Rating: 4 out of 5
About Me
- Anna Lawson
- I live in Bristol with my husband Dan (who I married in July 2007), my son Joe (born 2012) and daughter Jess (born 2015). I work at UWE (the University of the West of England) in Bristol as a Research and Open Access Librarian. I'm orginally from Exeter, so moving back to Bristol is a bit like coming home - especially as I studied for my undergraduate degree here (also at UWE). I love travelling and movies, although I get to do a lot less of both since the birth of our children. Although we have still managed to fit in holidays to the Isles of Scilly, Chamonix and a summer in California since Joe was born.
