Movies like Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) is a 2020s American dark-comedy-fantasy that transposes gothic-macabre concerns into a suburban-facade context. Its central conflict—an accidental teenage reopening of a portal to the Afterlife—unfolds through brisk, ensemble-led staging and high-contrast-chiaroscuro lighting that privileges practical-effects tangibility. The film compresses intergenerational-trauma into surreal-comic language and posits theatrical grotesquerie as a mechanism for communal grief work.”
