Beetlejuice

The life of a ghost is not always easy. A couple who recently died in a car accident can experience it. The film literally bursts with funny effects and cartoon humor. The role of the Beetlejuice demon is played by Michael Keaton, who gives a solid performance as an intolerable and self-centered monster. Crazy funny movie full of senseless humor.

The Christmas classic is filmed with dazzling motion capture technology that makes every moment magical. “Who sees, believes,” says the mysterious tramp who travels the tracks with you. You see miracles. And you begin to believe. The train leaves!
