Electric Blue 52

About This Movie

So, 'Electric Blue 52' is one of those curious oddities from the late '80s. It’s got this quirky charm, with the premise of a young man trying to save his uncle’s magazine—while living with four girls in a Beverly Hills mansion, no less. The pacing is a bit all over the place, but that adds to its charm, I guess. The statue of Aphrodite offering advice really gives it a surreal edge. The practical effects are minimal, yet they have this kitschy appeal that feels true to its era. Performances are, well, let’s say they have a certain charm that fits the overall vibe. It's definitely distinctive in its weird blend of comedy and fantasy.

This title has seen a limited release over the years, primarily in VHS format, making it somewhat scarce among collectors. The blend of fantasy and comedy gives it a unique niche, but it hasn’t reached the same heights as other cult classics of the time. Still, there’s a small yet dedicated group of collectors who appreciate its offbeat tone and the nostalgia it evokes for 80s cinema enthusiasts.
