After a family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family returned to Winter River. Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia’s life is turned upside down when her teenage daughter Astrid accidentally opens the portal to the afterlife and Monica Bellucci tells why filming Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice was an experience she will never forget.

All I can really do here is speak my truth and not worry about whether or not people agree with it. As a man who rated “Beetlejuice” nine out of ten, After the death of her father, Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder) returns to her childhood home with her stepmother Delia (Catherine O’Hara, her boyfriend Rory (Justin Theroux) and her daughter Astrid (Jenna Ortega). Lydia, who can still see ghosts, has visions of Betelgeuse (Michael Keaton) that only intensify when she returns to the house. But Betelgeuse has his own problems, which involve the return of his vengeful ex-wife Delores (Monica Bellucci), who has the ability to draw out the remaining souls of the dead — and make them “dead dead.” What? I found it really interesting that for years Burton and Keaton steadfastly refused to commit to a sequel unless the story was right. Then this is the one they moved forward with, which seems more like a bunch of glued-together ideas of a Gaffer’s than it feels like an actual story. There are four main plots, two of which could have been partially or even completely exorcised (pun intended) without it making much of a difference. It feels like they’re just there, so there’s an excuse for certain actors to be in the film. It’s also a bit too intent on recreating moments from the original, so there are two gags that are slight variations on the previous ones, and another song and dance possession scene that’s a strong moment, but again, just a remix of the first film. Keaton almost single-handedly manages to make the film acceptable. They cleverly keep his character out of most of the film, so when he does appear, he’s a breath of life, but it’s a freshening up the film needs all too often, and I don’t think I found anything else that others did funny. As you can tell from the score, even though this review seems so negative, I wouldn’t say I didn’t like the film overall – but it feels all too close to being the ‘Money Heist’ sequel we could have had anytime in the last 30 years.
