Beetlejuice (1988) **

Wacky and bizarre horror film about two ghosts (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis). They try to scare away the new occupants of their house (Winona Ryder, Catherine O'Hara and Jeffrey Jones) by hiring an "exorcist of the living" (Michael Keaton). Tim Burton's film has a great cast, good special effects and impressive sets. Weak script and unfunny jokes are the main liabilities.
