Read our privacy policy “The afterlife is so random,” Jenna Ortega’s stroppy teen Astrid sighs midway through Tim Burton’s long-awaited Beetlejuice sequel. Meanwhile, in the afterlife, Keaton’s predatory Betelgeuse – think an inverse exorcist, who can be hired by ghosts to expel humans from their abodes – is being relentlessly pursued by his vengeful ex-wife, the Morticia Addams-like Delores, who wants to steal his soul. Re-boo-ted: Michael Keaton in ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ Production and costume design are stellar, but the film’s script – credited to Alfred Gough and Miles Millar – is uneven. Starring: Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Jenna Ortega, Catherine O’Hara, Monica Bellucci, Justin Theroux, Willem Dafoe.
