Winona Ryder and Michael Keaton reunite for the long-delayed sequel that never allows schmaltz to overtake the morbid gags.
Death in the work of Tim Burton tends to be a joyous occasion, at least for the filmmaker. As a rule, it’s less an end than a beginning – a chance for Burton to keep experimenting with ways the human body can be mutilated, dismantled or otherwise transformed.
The childlike literalness of all this allows Beetlejuice , the clownish ghoul who serves as master of ceremonies, to communicate mainly in gruesome visual puns. If he gives you his heart, he’s going to rip it right out of his chest.
