Read the Empire Movie review of Beetlejuice. Still feels fresh, even though Burton has since become something of his own...

On March 30, 1988, Warner Bros. unveiled Tim Burton and Michael Keaton's feature in theaters.

"Beetlejuice" (citywide), an uproarious ghost comedy, kills off its likable stars after eight minutes, but that's just the first of the chances it takes.

"Tim Burton's demented 'Beetlejuice' certainly demands respect, even if it's more enjoyable in concept than in execution."

`Beetlejuice” gets off to a start that’s so charming it never lives it down. The movie is all anticlimax once we realize it’s going to be about gimmick...
