Beetlejuice Beetlejuice recaptures the macabre humor, ghoulish fantasy, and literally eye-popping visual effects of the classic original film.
Lydia Deetz (Winnona Ryder) continues to see ghosts but has cashed in on her abilities with a popular paranormal talk show. Rory (Justin Theroux), her clingy boyfriend and TV producer, keeps the visions flowing at all costs. Astrid (Jenna Ortega), her disbelieving daughter, hates his guts and considers her mother a total fraud. Why can’t Lydia conjure a meeting with Astrid’s deceased father if she really has such an extraordinary gift?
Delia (Catherine O’Hara), Lydia’s stepmother and now a famous performance artist, calls with tragic news about her beloved husband. Charles Deetz has been killed in a plane accident. Everyone must return to the family home in Winter River, Connecticut, for his funeral. They pick up Astrid at boarding school and drive to the “Ghost House” that inspired Lydia’s fame. She’s uneasy as memories of her youth and its demonic prankster come flooding back.
Meanwhile, in the afterlife’s complaint call center, Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton) still has his sights set on Lydia after all these years apart. He wants to marry her and escape into the realm of the living, and he senses an opportunity now that the Deetz family is back in his rotten grasp. But other apparitions also have dastardly plans, including Beetlejuice’s angry ex-wife, Delores (Monica Bellucci), and a mysterious newcomer (Arthur Conti).
