Beetlejuice Beetlejuice* (12A)      
(Odeon Salisbury)



(US 2024)
Warner Bros/Geffen/Plan B Entertainment. 104m.

The dysfunctional teenager who survived the devilish Belelgeuse is still tormented by him years later as an adult, whilst he is also being pursued by a former corpse bride.
Mad out-of-control sequel, every bit as weirdly imaginative as the original, although tending to recycle old formulas (including a splendid finale aping Richard Harris's MacArthurs Park) and with too many unnecessary plot strands, so that even Beetlejuice himself takes a back seat for most of the time. Any semblance of reality in the film checks out long before the end.
