Starring: Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara, Jenna Ortega
The afterlife has never been this wild! Beetlejuice 3 marks the long-awaited return of everyone’s favorite mischievous ghost, bringing back the dark comedy, eccentric charm, and gothic absurdity that only Tim Burton can deliver. This time, the Deetz family is once again at the center of the chaos, as three generations of the family are drawn back to their haunted home in Winter River, where restless spirits are far from done with their tricks.
Winona Ryder reprises her iconic role as Lydia Deetz, now an adult who thought she had left Beetlejuice and the strange supernatural world behind her. But Lydia soon finds that some things — especially ghosts like Beetlejuice — are harder to escape than she realized. The haunting memories and bizarre encounters she once thought were behind her come rushing back when her adventurous daughter, Astrid (played by Jenna Ortega), accidentally reopens the portal to the afterlife. And with that, the chaos reignites, bringing the mischievous and outrageous Beetlejuice back into their lives.
The magic of Beetlejuice lies in its perfect blend of dark humor, quirky visuals, and Burton’s signature surreal style. With Michael Keaton returning as the infamous Beetlejuice, the film promises to bring his wickedly funny, chaotic performance back to life. Keaton’s portrayal of the ghost with the most is as devilishly delightful as ever, combining his impeccable comedic timing with the sinister edge that makes Beetlejuice so irresistibly entertaining.
Beetlejuice 3 isn’t just a return to the familiar chaos of the first film — it’s an evolution. Astrid, Lydia’s daughter, brings a fresh dynamic to the story, adding a new generation’s perspective to the haunted happenings. She’s bold, curious, and more than ready to dive headfirst into the supernatural world her mother tried to forget. But as the portal reopens, Astrid and Lydia must both confront the ghosts of the past and face the wild energy that only Beetlejuice can bring. Together, they must navigate the mayhem he stirs up while dealing with their family’s dark legacy.
The visuals, as expected, are captivating. Burton’s signature aesthetic shines through in every frame, from the bizarre and bizarrely beautiful set design to the playful, eerie special effects. The film maintains the same dreamlike quality that made the original so memorable, with its warped sense of reality and off-kilter characters. Beetlejuice’s antics — from his wild wardrobe to his insane interactions with the living and the dead — are more ridiculous and fun than ever, promising audiences a full dose of weirdness and wonder.
The humor remains sharp and often absurd, but it’s tempered with the warmth of family. In true Beetlejuice style, the line between grotesque and hilarious is blurred, with moments of spookiness giving way to laugh-out-loud comedy. The characters may be surrounded by supernatural chaos, but at its heart, the film explores family bonds, generational struggles, and what happens when the past refuses to stay buried.
As the Deetz family grapples with their tumultuous relationship with Beetlejuice and the haunted history of their home, they realize that some things — and some ghosts — are simply too fun to be left in the past. The film’s ultimate message? That even when the world is turned upside down, sometimes a little bit of mischief and mayhem is exactly what everyone needs to remember the joy of life — and death.
Film Verdict:
⭐ Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) — “Beetlejuice 3” delivers everything fans could want: dark comedy, hilarious chaos, and the unforgettable magic that only Burton’s universe can provide. With a standout performance from Michael Keaton, and an exciting new dynamic brought by Jenna Ortega’s Astrid, this film proves that some ghosts — like Beetlejuice — are simply too much fun to stay dead.
Get ready to laugh, scream, and experience the weirdness all over again, because Beetlejuice is back — and this time, he’s bringing the family along for the ride!
